“Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.”
Mockers stir up a city, but the wise turn away anger—a statement of the social effect of ridicule versus wisdom, establishing that mockery inflames while wisdom calms. The theological significance involves the principle of the social responsibility of wise speech.
