Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favor!

Proverbs 14:9 (KJV)

The fools in mirth make mock of sin’s deep stain,
With laughter blind, they dance on crumbling ground,
Their jests a shroud, their wisdom turned to vain,
While shadows cloak the ruin they have found.
Yet righteous hearts, with Christ upon the tree,
Find favor sweet where mercy’s arms extend,
Crucified, they rise from death’s decree,
In Him their souls and brokenness transcend.
Sin’s weight, a fool’s delight, they cast aside,
But grace, to those who kneel, becomes their crown,
Through blood and cross, the faithful will abide,
Where favor reigns, no scorn can pull them down.
So let the mockers jeer, their end is near,
While righteous stand in love’s eternal sphere.
