Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease.
BSB

Cast out the scoffer, and contention will go out; Yea, strife and ignominy will cease.

THE LONG RULES 47 (379)
If some persist in their disobedience, finding fault in secret and not openly stating their grievance, thus becoming the cause of quarreling in the community and undermining the authority of the commands given, they should be dismissed from the community as teachers of disobedience and rebellion. For the Scripture says, "Cast out the scoffer from the council, and contention shall go out with him" and also, "Put away the evil one from yourselves, for a little leaven corrupts the whole lump."
Cast out the scorner,.... That makes a mock at sin, a jest at religion, and scoffs at all good men, and everything serious and spiritual; cast such an one out of all company and conversation; out of the family, as mocking Ishmael was cast out of Abraham's family; and out of the church, and all religious societies.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
