Proverbs 14:6

Authorized (King James) Version

⁶A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not:
but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

Proverbs 14:6

New International Version

⁶The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none,
but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.^(A)

¹⁰A reproof entereth more into a wise man
than an hundred stripes into a fool.

¹⁰A rebuke impresses a discerning person
more than a hundred lashes a fool.

²⁴Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

²⁴A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
but a fool’s eyes^(A) wander to the ends of the earth.
