“I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;”
Proverbs 1:26 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 1:26
Wisdom's response to rejection: 'I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh.' This shocking language describes divine response to persistent rebellion. God's 'laughter' represents judicial contempt for those who scorned His warnings. The 'mock' parallels their mockery of wisdom. This reflects lex talionis: as they treated wisdom, so wisdom treats them. This isn't capricious cruelty but just recompense. Those who laugh at God's ways will find God laughing at their consequent ruin.
