6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.
6 Cynics look high and low for wisdom - and never find it; the open-minded find it right on their doorstep!
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, But knowledge is easy to him who understands.
6 A mocker seeks wisdom and never finds it, but knowledge comes easily to those with understanding.

Commentary on Proverbs 14:6
(Read Proverbs 14:6)
A scorner treats Divine things with contempt. He that feels his ignorance and unworthiness will search the Scriptures in a humble spirit.
