'Scoffer' in the Bible

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.

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

For the tyrant will come to an end and the scorner will be finished,Indeed all who are intent on doing evil will be cut off—
