11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
11 The rich are wise in their own eyes; one who is poor and discerning sees how deluded they are.
11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding will find him out.
11 The rich think they know it all, but the poor can see right through them.
11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes, But the poor who has understanding searches him out.
11 Rich people may think they are wise, but a poor person with discernment can see right through them.
