Proverbs presents us with a choice between wisdom and folly and describes the futility of folly.
Mockers, Simpletons, and Fools are chronic troublemakers, who listen only to what they want to hear. They mock authority and use gossip to oppress others through fear.
Their approach may be passive or active, but the result is the same—strife, quarrels, and insults.
It is imperative you do not allow one or two people to spoil the spirit of an entire team or company. As Paul notes in Galatians 5:9, “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”
God does not tolerate troublemakers, nor should we.
