How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.

Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.

Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you.

If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a mocker does not respond to rebukes.

The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.

Mockers resent correction, so they avoid the wise.

Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.

Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom; by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.

The proud and arrogant person—“Mocker” is his name— behaves with insolent fury.

Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended.

The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.

Mockers stir up a city, but the wise turn away anger.

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.‭‭

Psalms‬ ‭1:1
