Proverbs 14:6

New American Standard Bible

⁶A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none,
But knowledge is easy for one who has understanding.

Proverbs 14:6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

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

¹⁰A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding
Than a hundred blows into a fool.

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

²⁴Wisdom is in the presence of one who has understanding,
But the ^(A)eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

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