but a mocker doesn’t listen to rebuke.
Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you mockers who rule this people in Jerusalem. For you said, "We have cut a deal with Death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol; when the overwhelming scourge passes through, it will not touch us, because we have made falsehood our refuge and have hidden behind treachery."
and a mocker is detestable to people.
but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.
How long will you mockers
and you fools hate knowledge?
The Lord's curse is on the household of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the righteous; He mocks those who mock, but gives grace to the humble.
he will not consult the wise.
