Proverbs 1:26
βI also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;β
KJV
Read in Proverbs 1Meaning
The personified speech dramatizes the reversal between mocked wisdom and the consequences of rejecting it.
Read carefully
The verse is severe poetic personification of Wisdom's vindication, not an ethical command to ridicule suffering people.
Reflection
Learn from the situation without delighting in another person's pain.
