Wisdom and Foolishness




The wise and the Foolish are often contrasted in the Bible and especially in the Book of Proverbs. The Characteristics, reputation and results of each are worth knowing if wisdom is our goal.

The wise                                                                                   The Foolish
Give Encouragement                                                            Lack common sense
Enjoy living wisely                                                                 Enjoy foolishness
Consider their steps                                                              Gullible (Avoid the wise)
Hungry for Knowledge                                                         Feed on the trash of foolishness
Valve wisdom above riches                                                Valve riches above wisdom
Respond to correction                                                         Don’t respond to punishment
Pursue wisdom                                                                      Pursue illusive dreams
Trust in wisdom                                                                     Trust in themselves
Control their anger                                                                Unleash their anger



The Results;
Stay on right path                                                                 Enjoy the wrong path
Their wisdom conquers others strength                         Endangered by their words
Grow stronger                                                                       Will never be chosen as leaders
