Scorner

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

• Punishment

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

• Heart
• Pure
• Heart

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

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

• Walking

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

• Children

A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

• Punishment
• Wisdom

When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
