Mocking Death
11
Even Death and Destruction hold no secrets from the Lord.
How much more does he know the human heart!
12
Mockers hate to be corrected,
so they stay away from the wise
Verse 11
Some people think that God does not know their thoughts and actions. They are wrong. God even sees beyond the grave into hell. God knows all our thoughts, and all our actions. We cannot escape from God. Even when we die, God will be our judge.
Verse 12
This person insults other people, because he is proud. Nobody can correct him. He always thinks that he himself is right. He will not ask for advice. He does not respect a wise person.
The first proverb is pretty obvious. If God knows what's in the hearts of dead people, then of course he knows what's in the hearts of living people too.
For Verse 12, keep in mind that a scoffer is the same as a rebel, a mocker, or a fool. Fools don't like being corrected. So, if a fool wants advice, they'll go to someone who agrees with them rather than someone wise who might correct them.
Let me ask you: When you have tough decisions to make, do you ask people you like who will probably agree with you? Or do you ask people you respect for their wisdom, who will carefully consider your options and tell you if they think you're wrong?
