Charles Ellicott 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)

A scorner seeks wisdom, and finds it not. —Because God resists the proud (1 Peter 5:5), and no one can give wisdom except He who alone has it (1 Corinthians 2:11); but He teaches the one who fears the Lord (Psalms 25:11).
