John Trapp on Proverbs 9:7

Verſ. 7. He that reproveth a ſcorner] This, with the three next verſes, may ſeem to come in by way of Parentheſis: And they do not obſcurely intimate, what manner of hearers Miniſters moſtly meet with, viz. ſuch as our Saviour did, [non-Latin text not transcribed] Luke 16.14. But the Phariſees that were covetous, derided, or blew their noſes at him, as One renders it. And ſuch as long before him the Prophet Iſaiah did, Chap. 28.10. Precept upon precept, line upon line, &c. One obſerveth that that was a ſcoff put upon the Prophet: And is as if they ſhould ſay, Here is nothing but line upon line, precept upon precept. The very ſound of the words in the Original (Zau le zau, kau, lakau) carries a taunt, as ſcornful people by the tone of their voyce, and riming words, ſcorn at ſuch as they deſpiſe.
