Proverbs 16:22

Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, But the punishment of fools is their folly.

Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it; But the correction of fools is `their' folly.

A fountain of life `is' understanding to its possessors, The instruction of fools is folly.

Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessor, but the discipline of fools is folly.
