Unveiling the Folly: A List of Signs of a Fool as Seen in the Book of Proverbs in the Bible
This Thursday morning, I am continuing my exploration of wisdom from the book of Proverbs. Perhaps the most striking word in all the chapters is fool or foolish. As we mature as Christians this year, this year we must examine our ways to see if we have foolish traits within us.
The Book of Proverbs leaves us with many examples of what it looks like being a fool. As we move into this new month, my advice is to examine these signs and make sure you avoid these actions in your daily life.
8 Signs Of A Fool From The Book Of Proverbs:
Proverbs 12:15 - "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice."
Proverbs 14:7 - "Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge."
Proverbs 17:16 - "Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, when he has no sense?"
Proverbs 18:2 - "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."
Proverbs 26:11 - "Like a dog that returns to its vomit is a fool who repeats his folly."
Proverbs 28:26 - "Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered."
