Which translation? it's not King James.
https://biblehub.com/kjv/ecclesiastes/10-2.htm
Right! KJ is right hand vs left hand! But historically, look at how left handers at the time, were viewed! Before we go to far, my youngest, a son, incredible musician, highest IQ in the family, left handed and based beyond belief!
NIV
A literal translation of it is roughly: Wise heart to the right hand, foolish heart to the left hand.
A more meaningful translation though might be: The wise prefers his right (stronger) hand, and the fool prefers his left (weaker) hand.
Of course, most of this unfortunately gets lost in translation.
