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 International Version

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

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

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

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