Proverbs 14:6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶A mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it,
but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.

Proverbs 14:6

Lexham English Bible

⁶A scoffer seeks wisdom, but there is none,
but knowledge comes easily to him who understands.^[a]

¹⁰A rebuke cuts into a perceptive person
more than a hundred lashes into a fool.

¹⁰A rebuke strikes him who understands
deeper than one hundred blows to a fool.

²⁴Wisdom is the focus of the perceptive,
but a fool’s eyes^(A) roam to the ends of the earth.

²⁴He who understands sets his face toward wisdom,
but the eyes of a fool, to the end of the earth.^[a]
