Proverbs 14:6-8
Amplified Bible

6 
A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none [for his ears are closed to wisdom],
But knowledge is easy for one who understands [because he is willing to learn].
7 
Leave the presence of a [shortsighted] fool,
For you will not find knowledge or hear godly wisdom from his lips.
8 
The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way,
But the foolishness of [shortsighted] fools is deceit.
