Proverbs 22:10

BSB

Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease.

WEB

Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.

KJV

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

IRV

பரியாசக்காரனைத் துரத்திவிடு; அப்பொழுது சண்டை நீங்கும், விரோதமும் அவமானமும் ஒழியும்.

Matthew Henry

Verse 10

Proverbs 22:10

See here, 1. What the scorner does. It is implied that he sows discord and makes mischief wherever he comes. Much of the strife and contention which disturb the peace of all societies is owing to the evil interpreter (as some read it), that construes every thing into the worst, to those that despise and deride every one that comes in their way and take a pride in bantering and abusing all mankind. 2. What is to be done with the scorner that will not be reclaimed: Cast him out of your society, as Ishmael, when he mocked Isaac, was thrust out of Abraham's family. Those that would secure the peace must exclude the scorner.
