Proverbs 22:10

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible · Matthew Henry (1662–1714) · Public Domain

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.
