Parallel ECC 6:8

---

ULT For what advantage belongs to the wise more than the fool? What advantage belongs to the poor person who knows how to walk before the living?

UST Consider this: Living wisely does not seem any more able than living foolishly to keep a person from suffering and inevitably dying. In the same way, knowing how to conduct oneself wisely and successfully does not seem to substantially lengthen or improve the life of someone who is poor.

BSB What advantage, then, has the wise man over the fool? What [gain comes] to the poor man who knows how to conduct himself before others?

LSV For what advantage [is] to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knows to walk before the living?

FBV So then, what real advantage do wise people have over those who are fools? And do poor people really gain anything in knowing how to behave in front of others?

T4T So it seems that [RHQ] wise people do not receive more lasting benefits
 ⇔ than foolish people do.
 ⇔ And it seems that [RHQ] poor people do not benefit from knowing how to conduct their lives.

LEB  • So do the wise really have an advantage over fools?
  • Can the poor really gain anything by knowing how to act in front of others ?[fn]
