But more than that, sarcasm and satire are different concepts. I am not saying that there are no examples of those in the Bible. "Mockers" abound. Read 1 and 2 Kings. The "Mockers" are generally not to be emulated as they turn out to be the villains.
None of that negates what Proverbs 26 says, does it?
Worse than a narrow and closed minded liberal is a supposed like minded individual who is narrow and closed minded. Its worse than rubbing nails on a chalkboard.
Like art, expression and articulation comes in many formats. Whether it is in good taste or effective is in the eye of the beholder. And like art, not all "get it." Which is fine, they usually walk away.
Do you stand in the museum and cry aloud how you do not like and how inappropriate the piece of work is? Do you even visit a museum and expand your horizons and enjoy God's incredible work expressed through man?
Surely not, for if you ever did, your mind would be as God intended. To see that which we "do not get" and learn to understand. Only with understanding comes wisdom!
Scripture doesn’t exactly negate scripture, but it must be viewed as one “unit” that doesn’t contradict itself. St. Paul’s sarcasm/satire, coupled with the humor and hyperbole that Jesus used, serve to show, IMO, that God is not opposed to the use of these things as a way to pointedly reveal truths. Proverbs 26 isn’t really explicitly opposed to all satire, sarcasm, etc. so it should be viewed in that context.
