Quick answer
The scoffer looks and comes up empty. The verse is not about access; it is about what a person brings to the looking.
Read both lines
This sits against 8:17, where those who seek wisdom diligently find her, and the tension is resolved by what kind of seeking is going on. A scoffer can go through the motions of inquiry while holding the whole enterprise in contempt, and contempt is not a posture in which anything gets learned. The second line's "easy" is almost provocative: for someone who has begun to understand, knowledge comes readily. The difference is not intelligence or access to teachers. It is whether a person is actually open.
