Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 14:6

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

A proud, self-conceited, and profane Person.

Because he doth not seek it aright, to wit, sincerely, and 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 to the service of God, and the furtherance of his practice of Religion.

Is plain and easily attained by him.

That knoweth and is deeply sensible of his own want of knowledge, and of the great worth and necessity of knowledge, which will make him use all possible means to it, and, among other ways, pray earnestly to God for it. Or, that is honest and pious: for words of knowledge are oft understood practically, especially in this Book.
