God Laughs at the Wicked

I have no problem with sarcasm and neither did Elijah! You know, the one who was taken into the heavens by a chariot.
2 Kings 2:3-9 Elijah was taken into heaven in a whirlwind.

1 Kings 18, Elijah mocked the prophets of Baal because they challenged him to compete with their gods against his God.

When their fire would not start from heaven, Elijah said; "what's the matter are your gods sleeping."

If anyone would do a study of sarcasm in the Bible they would see that there was plenty of it and it was justified.

God even laughs at our foolishness, like a Daddy would laugh at the silliness of his small children.

Psalm 2:4
"The One enthroned in the heavens laughs; the Lord taunts them."

Psalm 37:13-22
13 The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slay those who are upright in conduct.
15 Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.
16 Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But the Lord sustains the righteous.
18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will be forever.
19 They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,
And in the days of famine they will have abundance.
20 But the wicked will perish;
And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures,
They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and gives.
22 For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,
But those cursed by Him will be cut off."
