Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 21:18

ὡς οἶκος ἠφανισμένος οὕτως μωρῷ σοφία, καὶ γνῶσις ἀσυνέτου ἀδιεξέταστοι λόγοι.
King James Version (KJV)

As is a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense.

Modern English

Wisdom to a fool is like a ruined house, and the understanding of the unwise is just talk without sense.
