Proverbs 14:6,7

A scorner A proud, self-conceited, and profane person; seeketh wisdom and findeth it not Because he doth not seek it aright, namely, sincerely, earnestly, and seasonably, and in a constant and diligent use of all the means which God hath appointed to that end; and with an honest intention of employing his knowledge in the service of God, and for the furtherance of true religion. But knowledge is easy unto him That is, is plain, and easily attained by him; that understandeth That knows, and is deeply sensible of his own want of it, and of its great worth and necessity, which will make him use all possible diligence in seeking it, and, among other means, in praying earnestly to God for it. Go from the presence of a foolish man Avoid the company and conversation of the ungodly. When thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge When they break forth into foolish or wicked speeches, lest thou either be infected by them, or seem to approve them.
