'Scoffer' in the Bible

A wise son heeds and accepts [and is the result of] his father’s discipline and instruction,But a scoffer does not listen to reprimand and does not learn from his errors.

A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none [for his ears are closed to wisdom],But knowledge is easy for one who understands [because he is willing to learn].

Strike a scoffer [for refusing to learn], and the naive may [be warned and] become prudent;Reprimand one who has understanding and a teachable spirit, and he will gain knowledge and insight.

When the scoffer is punished, the naive [observes the lesson and] becomes wise;But when the wise and teachable person is instructed, he receives knowledge.

“Proud,” “Haughty,” “Scoffer,” are his namesWho acts with overbearing and insolent pride.

Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go away;Even strife and dishonor will cease.

The devising of folly is sin,And the scoffer is repulsive to men.
