'Scoffer' in the Bible
He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
A wise son heareth his father's instruction; But a scoffer heareth not rebuke.
A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not; But knowledge is easy unto him that hath understanding.
A scoffer loveth not to be reproved; He will not go unto the wise.
Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride.
Cast out the scoffer, and contention will go out; Yea, strife and ignominy will cease.
The thought of foolishness is sin; And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
