“A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, But knowledge is easy to him who understands” (Proverbs 14:6). A “scoffer” claims to seek wisdom but contradicts wisdom when presented. Scoffers reject the possibility of wisdom before they open their eyes to it! Therefore, “A scoffer does not love one who corrects him, Nor will he go to the wise” (Proverbs 15:12). Scoffers are destructive deniers. “Scoffers set a city aflame, But wise men turn away wrath” (Proverbs 29:8). They destroy what others may have established through wisdom. Scoffers destroy others’ Bible faith, businesses, families, and civility. “A proud and haughty man -‘Scoffer’ is his name; He acts with arrogant pride” (Proverbs 21:24). The solution? “Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; Yes, strife and reproach will cease” (Proverbs 22:10). Scoffers are no good for any society. - July 26, 2021
