Strong's Lexicon latson: Scorn, Mockery Original Word: לָצוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root לָצָה (latsah), which means to scorn or mock. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with scorn or mockery is ἐμπαίζω (empaizo), which appears in contexts such as the mockery of Jesus by the soldiers (e.g., Matthew 27:29). Usage: The term "latson" refers to scorn or mockery, often used in the context of derision or ridicule. It conveys a sense of contempt or disdain, typically directed towards individuals or ideas. In the Hebrew Bible, it is associated with the behavior of scoffers or those who reject wisdom and instruction. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, mockery and scorn were seen as behaviors that disrupted social harmony and undermined authority. The wisdom literature, particularly the Book of Proverbs, frequently warns against the company of mockers, emphasizing the importance of humility and the pursuit of wisdom. Mockery was not only a social issue but also a spiritual one, as it reflected a heart resistant to God's instruction.
