10
Evil people desire evil;
their neighbors get no mercy from them.
11
If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded become wise;
if you instruct the wise, they will be all the wiser.
12
The Righteous One knows what is going on in the homes of the wicked;
he will bring disaster on them.
Verse 10
This man is wicked. He does not want to do the right things. He wants to do evil things. This is why he is unfriendly. He hates his neighbor. A wicked person does not want to help his neighbor or anyone else.
Verse 11
The man who insults might not learn from his punishment. But other people can learn. Simple people have not learned to be wise. So simple people do evil things. But the simple people will see the punishment of the man who insults. So the simple people will be able to learn from that man’s error.
A wise man does not need a punishment. He will learn his lessons. Teach him, and he will become even wiser.
a mocker is seen as a fool and someone who rebels against God's commandments. Seeing such a person punished can help a naive person become wise. Wise people always want to learn more about God's creation and how He wants His people to behave.
Verse 12
God sees evil people. He watches their evil actions. He knows their evil thoughts. God will punish them.
