ABOUT WISE & FOOLS (3)

1. What does the Book of Proverbs say about the Wise versus Fools?

a) 24 A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth. (Proverbs 17:24-25)

b) Even fools may be thought wise and intelligent if they stay quiet. (Proverbs 17:28)

c) 2 A fool does not care whether he understands a thing or not; all he wants to do is show how smart he is. (Proverbs 18:2)

d) 13 He who answers before listening - that is his folly and his shame. (Proverbs 18:13)

e) 1 It is better to be poor but honest than to be a lying fool. (Proverbs 19:1)

f) 1 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool.3 A whip for the horse, a halter for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools! 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes. (Proverbs 26:1-12)

g) 26 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe. (Proverbs 28:26)
