Three Problem People.

Proverbs 1:22
22 “How long, you simpletons,
will you insist on being simpleminded?
How long will you mockers relish your mocking?
How long will you fools hate knowledge?


Mockers, fools, and the simple are all bad characters and ones we should stay away from according to Proverbs. The "simple" might not be too big of a deal out of the bunch. They are lazy and don't put much thought into their life. They will be sorry in the end. "Fools" are more intelligent, but decide to live the way they want to, separating themselves from God and advice. "Mockers" are not good at all. They are rebels against God who make their position known with pride to everyone they run into. They mock God, but God tells us he will mock them eventually (verse 26 says: So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you—)

Oh boy, God really dislikes mockery, along with being simple and being a fool. If you think you fit into one of the aforementioned categories, don't fret because it's never too late to change. This is where you can bring God in to your life and stop acting foolish.

“Three of the rudest people in the world are: a young person making fun of an older person, a strong person jeering at an invalid, and the wise mocking a fool.” ~Unknown
