Lexicon :: Strong's H3887 - lûṣ

“My friends ^H7453 are my scoffers ^H3887;

My eye ^H5869 weeps ^H1811 to God ^H433,

“If ^H518 there ^H3426 is ^H3426 an interceding ^H3887 angel ^H4397 for him,

One ^H259 out of a thousand ^H505,

To remind ^H5046 a person ^H120 of what ^H3476 is ^H3476 [fn]right ^H3476 for him,

Blessed ^H835 is the person ^H376 who ^H834 does not walk ^H1980 in the counsel ^H6098 of the wicked ^H7563,

Nor ^H3808 stand ^H5975 in the [fn]path ^H1870 of sinners ^H2400,

Nor ^H3808 sit ^H3427 in the seat ^H4186 of scoffers ^H3887!

The arrogant ^H2086 utterly ^H5704 H3966 deride ^H3887 me,

Yet I do not turn ^H5186 aside ^H5186 from Your Law ^H8451.

“How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970, you naive ^H6612 ones ^H6612, will you love ^H157 simplistic ^H6612 thinking ^H6612?

And how long will scoffers ^H3887 delight ^H2530 themselves in scoffing ^H3944

And fools ^H3684 hate ^H8130 knowledge ^H1847?

Though ^H518 He scoffs ^H3887 at the scoffers ^H3887,

Yet He gives ^H5414 grace ^H2580 to the needy ^H6035.

One who corrects ^H3256 a scoffer ^H3887 gets ^H3947 dishonor ^H7036 for himself,

And one who rebukes ^H3198 a wicked ^H7563 person ^H7563 gets [fn]insults ^H3971 for himself.

If ^H518 you are ^H2449 wise ^H2449, you are ^H2449 wise ^H2449 for yourself,

And if you scoff ^H3887, you alone ^H905 will [fn]suffer ^H5375 from it.

A wise ^H2450 son ^H1121 accepts his father’s ^H1 discipline ^H4148,

But a scoffer ^H3887 does not listen ^H8085 to rebuke ^H1606.

A scoffer ^H3887 seeks ^H1245 wisdom ^H2451 and finds none ^H369,

But knowledge ^H1847 is ^H7043 easy ^H7043 for one who has ^H995 understanding ^H995.

Fools ^H191 mock ^H3887 at [fn]sin ^H817,

But among ^H996 the upright ^H3477 there is [fn]goodwill ^H7522.

A scoffer ^H3887 does not love ^H157 one who rebukes ^H3198 him;

He will not go ^H1980 to the wise ^H2450.

Strike ^H5221 a scoffer ^H3887 and the naive ^H6612 may become ^H6191 clever ^H6191,

But rebuke ^H3198 one who has ^H995 understanding ^H995, and he will [fn]gain ^H995 knowledge ^H1847.

A worthless ^H1100 witness ^H5707 makes ^H3887 a ^H3887 mockery ^H3887 of justice ^H4941,

And the mouth ^H6310 of the wicked ^H7563 [fn]swallows ^H1104 wrongdoing ^H205.

Wine ^H3196 is a mocker ^H3887, intoxicating ^H7941 drink ^H7941 a brawler ^H1993,

And whoever ^H3605 [fn]is ^H7686 intoxicated ^H7686 by it is ^H2449 not wise ^H2449.

When the scoffer ^H3887 is punished ^H6064, the naive ^H6612 becomes ^H2449 wise ^H2449;

But when the wise ^H2449 is instructed ^H7919, he receives ^H3947 knowledge ^H1847.

“Proud ^H2086,” “Arrogant ^H3093,” “Scoffer ^H3887,” are his names ^H8034,

One who acts ^H6213 with insolent ^H2087 pride ^H2087.

Drive ^H1644 out ^H1644 the scoffer ^H3887, and strife ^H4066 will leave ^H3318,

Even quarreling ^H1779 and dishonor ^H7036 will cease ^H7673.

The devising ^H2154 of foolishness ^H200 is sin ^H2403,

And the scoffer ^H3887 is an abomination ^H8441 to humanity ^H120.

And now ^H6258 do not carry ^H3887 on ^H3887 as ^H3887 scoffers ^H3887,

Or ^H6435 your shackles ^H4147 will be made ^H2388 stronger ^H2388;

For I have heard ^H8085 from the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635

Of decisive ^H2782 destruction ^H3617 on all ^H3605 the earth ^H776.

For the ruthless ^H6184 will come ^H656 to ^H656 an ^H656 end ^H656 and the scorner ^H3887 will be finished ^H3615,

Indeed all ^H3605 who [fn]are ^H8245 intent ^H8245 on ^H8245 doing ^H8245 evil ^H205 will be eliminated ^H3772,

“Your first ^H7223 [fn]forefather ^H1 sinned ^H2398,

And your [fn]spokesmen ^H3887 have rebelled ^H6586 against Me.
