Proverbs 14:6

English Standard Version

⁶^(A)A scoffer seeks wisdom ^(B)in vain,
but ^(C)knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.

Proverbs 14:6

New Living Translation

⁶A mocker seeks wisdom and never finds it,
but knowledge comes easily to those with understanding.

¹⁰A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding
than a hundred blows into a fool.

¹⁰A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding
than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.

²⁴^(A)The discerning sets his face toward wisdom,
but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

²⁴Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom,
but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
