Proverbs 14:6

Lexham English Bible

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

Proverbs 14:6

Common English Bible

⁶A mocker searches for wisdom and gets none,
but knowledge comes quickly to the intelligent.

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

¹⁰A rebuke goes deeper to an understanding person
than a hundred lashes to a fool.

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

²⁴Wisdom is right in front of those with understanding,
but the eyes of fools are off to the edges of the earth.
