Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 14:6

"A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and [findeth it] not; But knowledge is easy unto him that hath understanding." — Proverbs 14:6 (ASV)

Findeth it not — literally, there is none. The successful pursuit of wisdom presupposes at least earnestness and reverence. The scoffer shuts himself out from the capacity of recognizing truth.
