“Ecce descripsi eam tibi tripliciter, in cogitationibus et scientia :”
“Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,”
“Have I not written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge,”
“Haven’t I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge,”
“Have not I written unto thee excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,”
Ways. Repeatedly. (Bossuet; Tirinus) (2 Corinthians xii. 8., and Amos i. 11.) (Calmet) — Protestants, “have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge?” “Shalishim,” perfect, (Pagnin) or “three things,” (Montanus) means also (Haydock) such as might suit princes and great officers. (Calmet)
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.
