The use of the proverbs7. An exhortation to fear God, and believe his word 10. to avoid the enticing of sinners 20. Wisdom complains of her contempt 24. She threatens her contemners I, in turn, will mock The phrase "I, in turn, will mock" is a powerful declaration of divine response. The Hebrew root for "mock" is "לָעַג" (la'ag), which conveys a sense of derision or scorn. In the context of Proverbs, this is a sobering reminder of the consequences of rejecting wisdom. Historically, wisdom literature often personifies wisdom as a woman calling out to the simple and the foolish. Here, the refusal to heed wisdom's call results in a reversal where wisdom itself mocks those who ignored it. This reflects a divine justice where the consequences of one's actions are mirrored back upon them. when your calamity comes upon you when dread comes like a storm and your destruction like a whirlwind when distress and anguish overwhelm you Parallel Commentaries ...
