What Does Proverbs 22:10 Mean?
A scorner poisons the community. They mock others, make everything a debate, and spread contempt. As long as they remain, they stoke conflict and shame that ripples outward.
Removing such a person is not cruelty but healing. It allows the group to refocus on its work and values. Strife and reproach do not disappear by argument but by separating from those who thrive on division.
