"Go from the presence of a foolish and self-confident man,"
Psalms 14:1 (Amplified Bible)
14:1 To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. THE [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable deeds; there is none that does good or right.
Psalms 53:1 (Amplified Bible)
53:1 To the Chief Musician; in a mournful strain. A skillful song, or didactic or reflective poem of David. THE [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt and evil are they, and doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.
Foolish or "kesyl" in Hebrew meaning: stupid or silly.
A fool is defined in the bible as someone who does not believe in GOD. It's not about lack of education or lack of morals but all of these lack come from the lack of relationship with GOD.
Proverbs 9:6 (Amplified Bible)
9:6 Leave off, simple ones [forsake the foolish and simpleminded] and live! And walk in the way of insight and understanding.
Proverbs 13:20 (Amplified Bible)
13:20 He who walks [as a companion] with wise men is wise, but he who associates with [self-confident] fools is [a fool himself and] shall smart for it.
Isaiah 32:6 (Amplified Bible)
32:6 For the fool speaks folly and his mind plans iniquity: practicing profane ungodliness and speaking error concerning the Lord, leaving the craving of the hungry unsatisfied and causing the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Fool - One who is destitute of reason, or the common powers of understanding; an idiot. Some persons are born fools, and are called natural fools; others may become fools by some injury done to the brain. In common language, a person who is somewhat deficient in intellect, but not an idiot; or a person who acts absurdly; one who does not exercise his reason; one who pursues a course contrary to the dictates of wisdom. (Webster's 1828 Dictionary)
What are fools in the Bible?
1. Someone who leave their wealth to others
Psalms 49:10 (Amplified Bible)
49:10 For he sees that even wise men die; the [self-confident] fool and the stupid alike perish and leave their wealth to others.
2. They hate knowledge
Proverbs 1:22 (Amplified Bible)
1:22 How long, O simple ones [open to evil], will you love being simple? And the scoffers delight in scoffing and [self-confident] fools hate knowledge?
3. Does mischief as a sport
Proverbs 10:23 (Amplified Bible)
10:23 It is as sport to a [self-confident] fool to do wickedness, but to have skillful and godly Wisdom is pleasure and relaxation to a man of understanding.
4. Does not give up evil
Proverbs 13:19 (Amplified Bible)
13:19 Satisfied desire is sweet to a person; therefore it is hateful and exceedingly offensive to [self-confident] fools to give up evil [upon which they have set their hearts].
5. Returns to his foolishness
Proverbs 26:11 (Amplified Bible)
26:11 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly.
6. Trusts himself
Proverbs 28:26 (Amplified Bible)
28:26 He who leans on, trusts in, and is confident of his own mind and heart is a [self-confident] fool, but he who walks in skillful and godly Wisdom shall be delivered.
7. Walks in darkness
Ecclesiastes 2:14 (Amplified Bible)
2:14 The wise man’s eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness; and yet I perceived that [in the end] one event happens to them both.
8. Does not pay what he vowed to GOD
Ecclesiastes 5:4 (Amplified Bible)
5:4 When you vow a vow or make a pledge to God, do not put off paying it; for God has no pleasure in fools (those who witlessly mock Him). Pay what you vow.
9. Does not know how to get to town
Ecclesiastes 10:15 (Amplified Bible)
10:15 The labor of fools wearies every one of them, because [he is so ignorant of the ordinary matters that] he does not even know how to get to town.
B. You will not find knowledge with them
"for you will not find knowledge on his lips"
Lips or "saphah sepheth" in Hebrew meaning:
1. lips
2. language
3. band, bank, binding, border, brim, brink, edge, language, lip, prating
4. shore, side, speech, talk
Knowledge or "daath" in Hebrew meaning: knowledge
Knowledge - A clear and certain perception of that which exists, or of truth and fact; the perception of the connection and agreement, or disagreement and repugnancy of our ideas. We can have no knowledge of that which does not exist. God has a perfect knowledge of all his works. Human knowledge is very limited, and is mostly gained by observation and experience. (Webster's 1828 Dictionary)
IX. CONCLUSION:
The last days is full of foolish people. Stay away from them.
2 Timothy 3:1-4 (Amplified Bible)
3:1 BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].
3:2 For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.
3:3 [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.
3:4 [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God.
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I have the mind of CHRIST that guides and instructs me according to Your WORD.
