“How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?”
Proverbs 1:22 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 1:22
Wisdom poses three rhetorical questions targeting different categories of fools. The 'simple' (peti) love simplicity, 'scorners' (lets - mockers) delight in scorning, and 'fools' (kesil - dullards) hate knowledge. This taxonomy distinguishes the naive who lack wisdom, the proud who mock it, and the obstinate who actively oppose it. Each represents progressive hardening against truth. The questions indict both intellectual and moral rebellion against God's wisdom.
