Proverbs 17:24
A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth.

To me this verse is saying a discerning person always keeps wisdom, but a fool will look everywhere for whatever they are seeking. A discerning person will keep the bible to guide them, but also discern the truth for the truth and not listen or look to the earth for wisdom. A fool will seek it out in the world, whereas a person that discerns wisdom will keep it in mind at all times. We must be able to discern the truth from the false since there are many false teachers that are out in the world. We must not just sit in church on the pew and take the preachers word for what he says just because he is the preacher, we must check up on it for ourselves in the bible and make sure it lines up with the word of God and be able to discern the truth for ourselves. That is why we are given wisdom to be able to discern the truth.
