The Scorner

The Book of Proverbs gives three classifications for the fool: The Simple, The Fool, and The Scorner.  In our study we have labeled the Scorner as the "past-hope" fool.  The only One who can change the heart of the scorner is God, Himself.  Whether the scorner is willing to change or not he is still, according to the Book of Proverbs, deserving of severe punishment.
