A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 14 of Proverbs. The wise woman builds her house, while the foolish woman tears it down with her own hands, an image that turns everyday conduct into either construction or destruction of the family community. The straight path may appear right in human eyes and nevertheless end in death. The chapter insists that subjective perception is insufficient: wisdom requires a deeper moral standard than personal impression.
