Verse 10
10. Cast out the scorner לצ , ( lets,) scorner, or scoffer. It means a very bad man, (see note on Proverbs 21:11;) a man who laughs at legal and virtuous restraint, treats virtue and religion with derision, and is in no wise disposed to submit to law, order, or good government. Cast such a one out of society, and a large proportion of evil will go with him. If we could go a step further, and banish intemperance, we would have a civil and social millennium. Compare Proverbs 24:9.
