“A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.”
Proverbs 14:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 14:6
The scorner 'seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not'—not because wisdom is hidden, but because the scorner's attitude disqualifies him. The Hebrew 'lets' (scorner/mocker) refers to one who treats sacred things with contempt. Meanwhile, 'knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.' The problem isn't intellectual capacity but moral disposition. Reformed theology affirms that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). Without humility before God, intellectual pursuit is futile. The natural man cannot understand spiritual things (1 Corinthians 2:14).
