Proverbs 14:6

New International Version

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

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 impresses a discerning person
more than a hundred lashes a fool.

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

²⁴A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
but a fool’s eyes^(A) wander to 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.

New International Version (NIV)
