Why should the fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?

Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?

Wherefore is there a price{H4242} in the hand{H3027} of a fool{H3684} to get{H7069}{(H8800)} wisdom{H2451}, seeing he hath no heart{H3820} to it?

Why oh why, this money in the fool's hand, To buy wisdom, when there is no heart?

Why is this—a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart there is none?
