Proverbs 15:14

King James Version

¹⁴The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

Proverbs 15:14

New International Version

¹⁴The discerning heart seeks knowledge,^(A)
but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

¹⁴The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

²⁰He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

²⁰Such a person feeds on ashes;^(A) a deluded^(B) heart misleads him;
he cannot save himself, or say,
“Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?^(C)”

²⁰He feeds on ashes;
^(A)A deceived heart has turned him aside;
And he cannot deliver his soul,
Nor say, “Is there not a ^(B)lie in my right hand?”
