“Mocker is the name of the proud and arrogant man — of him who acts with excessive pride.”
Proverbs 21:24 (BSB)
Context Reading
22A wise man scales the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust. 23He who guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from distress. 24Mocker is the name of the proud and arrogant man — of him who acts with excessive pride. 25The craving of the slacker kills him because his hands refuse to work. 26All day long he covets more, but the righteous give without restraint.
