That man, who, without knowing his own strength and dissociated from both virtue and profit, desireth an object difficult of acquisition, without again adopting adequate means, is said to be destitute of intelligence. O king, he who punisheth one that is undeserving of punishment, payeth homage to persons without their knowledge, and waiteth upon misers, is said to be of little sense.

In plain words: A person lacks sense if he chases a hard goal without knowing his own strength, without goodness or real benefit, and without the right means. Also foolish is one who punishes the innocent, flatters people who don't even know it, and serves stingy people.
