Fool

Job 5:2-3 – Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple. I myself have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.

Job 2:10 – He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

Proverbs 1:7 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Jeremiah 12:2 – You have planted them, and they have taken root; they grow and bear fruit. You are always on their lips but far from their hearts.

Application:

  • ·         “Fool” is one who pays no attention to God.
  • ·         “Fools” are those who hate knowledge and correction of any kind, who are “quick to quarrel” and “give full vent” to their anger, who are complacent and who trust in themselves rather than in God.
  • ·         “You have planted them”, but a sovereign God can always reconsider His intentions if conditions warrant a change.
