כִּ֣י מַה יּוֹתֵ֤ר לֶחָכָם֙ מִן הַכְּסִ֔יל מַה לֶּעָנִ֕י יוֹדֵ֖עַ לַהֲלֹ֥ךְ נֶ֖גֶד הַחַיִּֽים׃
kiy mah yvoter leḥakam min haksiyl mah leʿaniy yvodeʿa lahalok neged haḥayiym
King James Version (KJV)

For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

Modern English

For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living?
