Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 1:26

"I also will laugh in [the day of] your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;" — Proverbs 1:26 (ASV)

Compare the marginal reference. The scorn and derision with which men look on pride and malice, baffled and put to shame, has something that answers to it in the Divine Judgment. It is, however, significant that in the fuller revelation of the mind and will of the Father in the person of the Son no such language meets us. Sadness, sternness, severity, there may be, but, from first to last, no word of mere derision.
