14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
14 An intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth; fools feed on fast-food fads and fancies.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
14 A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash.

Commentary on Proverbs 15:14
(Read Proverbs 15:14)
A wise man seeks to gain more wisdom, growing in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. But a carnal mind rests contented, flattering itself.
