14:6 The scorner seeks wisdom but finds none,
but understanding is easy for a discerning person.
15:12 The scorner does not love one who corrects him;
he will not go to the wise.
22:10 Drive out the scorner and contention will leave;
strife and insults will cease.
24:9 A foolish scheme is sin,
and the scorner is an abomination to people.
21:11 When a scorner is punished, the naive becomes wise;
when a wise person is instructed, he gains knowledge.
19:25 Flog a scorner, and as a result the simpleton will learn prudence;
correct a discerning person, and as a result he will understand knowledge.
