Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
לְאִ֣ישׁ כְּסִ֑יל

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a man who is characterized by stupidity. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “a stupid man”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

Here, a man represents a type of people in general, not one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “any person of”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבַל־יָ֝דַ֗עְתָּ
and,not find
Here Solomon refers to you not receiving knowledge from what a stupid person says as if you did not know such knowledge. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for you will not receive”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
שִׂפְתֵי־דָֽעַת
words knowledge
Here, lips refers to what people say by moving their lips. Solomon is referring to words that express knowledge. See how you translated the same use of lips in 10:18. Alternate translation: “words that express knowledge”
