Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and
lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their
plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path
where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful
[and the mockers] gather.(psalms 1:1)
Everyone knows this verse .It is one of the most famous Sunday school verse teachers taught the kids.Most of the kids know that they shouldn't befriend with people going in a wrong way ,but what about these scornful and mockers?who are they ? How could we identify them?Is there any definition given in bible? Yes. If we read in proverbs 21:24
The proud and haughty man—Scoffer is his name—deals and acts with overbearing pride.
Scornful people are proud and haughty.GOD advises us to stay away from them.The three friends of Job are scoffers.They are so proud and haughty because of their vast knowledge about God (unbelievable huh?).I don't know whether Job know about his friends before his loss or not .If Job stayed away from this kind of people,he would have escape from their sharp tongues.Scoffers forget God comforts depressed people,they just like to manifest their knowledge and when the right time came they grabbed the opportunity to accuse the poor fellow falsely.
Hmmmm actually Job only had those three friends to help and comfort him and those three turns out to be scoffers.(that's pretty harsh).I wonder if we have to stay away from scoffers do we have friends anymore?The bitter answer is most of us would not have one .True friends are like diamond.If we have a true friends who are not scoffers ,we are the most richest person in the world.I decided to stay away from scoffers even if I don't have any friend .We don't have to live in abuse.God doesnot told so and its not the doctrine of love like many people thinks.
Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out; yes, strife and abuse will cease.(proverbs 22:10)
