Proverbs 21:24

24 Incredibly proud—mockers are their name! Their conduct involves excessive pride.

Proverbs 21:24 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 21:24

Proud [and] haughty scorner [is] his name
He shall be called a proud fool, a haughty fellow, a scornful blockhead; he shall get himself an ill name, and be treated with contempt; who dealeth in proud wrath;
whose pride shows itself in wrathful expressions and actions; who is proud and passionate in all his dealings with men, and who as it were makes a trade of pride and passion: to none is this character more applicable than to antichrist, the man of sin, that sits in the seat of the scornful; exalts himself above all that is called God, has a mouth speaking blasphemies, and a look more stout than his fellows, and deals in proud wrath against the saints of the most High.

Proverbs 21:24 In-Context

22 A wise person fought a city of warriors and brought down the stronghold in which they felt safe.
23 Those who guard their mouths and their tongues guard themselves from trouble.
24 Incredibly proud—mockers are their name! Their conduct involves excessive pride.
25 The desires of the lazy will kill them, because their hands refuse to do anything.
26 The lazy desire things constantly, but the righteous give without holding back.
