To the prudent, education is like a gold ornament, like a bracelet on the arm.
As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as words without sense.
but to a sensible person, it is like gold bracelets. An intelligent person will smile quietly while a fool roars with laughter.
Like a gold ornament is education to the wise, like a bracelet on the right arm.
Like an ornament of gold is instruction to a sensible man, like a bracelet on his right arm.
To the sensible person education is like a golden ornament, and like a bracelet on the right arm.
To the sensible person education is like a golden ornament, and like a bracelet on the right arm.
To the sensible person education is like a golden ornament, and like a bracelet on the right arm.
To the sensible, education is like a golden ornament and like a bracelet on the right arm.
To a sensible man education is like a golden ornament, and like a bracelet on the right arm.
To a sensible man education is like a golden ornament, and like a bracelet on the right arm.
Teaching is a golden ornament to a prudent man; and as an ornament of the arm [or an arm-circle] in (or on) the right arm.
