"Let's Talk About It"

The Mocker In Proverbs
​ Proverbs mentions various types of people and their characteristics. When we come to the mocker in Prov. 22:10 we read:
Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended.
Much more is mentioned here:
The proud and arrogant man — “Mocker” is his name; he behaves with overweening pride.  (Prov 21:24)
A mocker resents correction; he will not consult the wise.  (Prov 15:12)
Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you.  (Prov 9:8)

Proverbs 26 
18 Like a maniac shooting
flaming arrows of death
19 is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, “I was only joking!”


20 Without wood a fire goes out;
without a gossip a quarrel dies down.
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.
