Proverbs 14:6

Context

14:6 The scorner 1  seeks wisdom but finds none, 2 

but understanding is easy 3  for a discerning person.

1 sn The “scorner” (לֵץ, lets) is intellectually arrogant; he lacks any serious interest in knowledge or religion. He pursues wisdom in a superficial way so that he can appear wise. The acquisition of wisdom is conditioned by one’s attitude toward it (J. H. Greenstone, Proverbs, 149).

2 tn Heb “and there is not.”

3 sn The Niphal of קָלַל (qalal) means “to appear light; to appear trifling; to appear easy.”
