KJV Word TypeNoun / Verb
DefinitionOpen contempt, mockery, or derision. In the Psalms the "scorner" (or "scornful") is one of the wicked who despises wisdom and instruction. Christ Himself was scorned at His crucifixion. The KJV consistently contrasts the way of the scorner with the way of the wise and godly.
Key Verses"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." (Psalm 1:1)
