Soothing Solution for the Scorned – Bible First-Aid from A to Z

Soothing Solution for the Scorned – Bible First-Aid from A to Z

Sarcastic and snotty sneering can scar the spirit, especially of the most sensitive. What is the secret to surviving scorn?

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy,
    for we have had our fill of contempt. We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud
    and the contempt of the arrogant.

(Psalm 123:3-4, New Living Translation)

Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    Nor stands in the path of sinners,
    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    And in His law he meditates day and night.

 He shall be like a tree
    Planted by the rivers of water,
    That brings forth its fruit in its season,
    Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

(Psalm 1:1-3, New King James Version)
