Proverbs 14:6

New Living Translation

⁶A mocker seeks wisdom and never finds it,
but knowledge comes easily to those with understanding.

Proverbs 14:6

Living Bible

⁶A mocker never finds the wisdom he claims he is looking for, yet it comes easily to the man with common sense.

¹⁰A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding
than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.

¹⁰A rebuke to a man of common sense is more effective than a hundred lashes on the back of a rebel.

²⁴Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom,
but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.

²⁴Wisdom is the main pursuit of sensible men, but a fool’s goals are at the ends of the earth!
