Proverbs 9

Misc January 9, 2013Comments

They should call Proverbs 9, “The troll chapter,” because it offers a succinct promise of what happens when you engage with trolls online.

“Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult;
whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.
Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you;”

In three lines we are promised that if we engage with mockers we will invite insult, incur abuse and receive hate.

Remember that next time you want to get into a huge argument on Facebook or Twitter or a blog.

Let it go. Wisdom is calling.

Chase that instead.
