people. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray,
slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and

charmer. The words of a wise man's mouth win him favor, but the lips of
a fool consume him. The beginning of the words of his mouth is
foolishness, and the end of his talk is evil madness. A fool multiplies

be after him? The toil of a fool wearies him, for he does not know the
way to the city.

for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and
the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that
anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.
If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself
will be saved, but only as through fire.

covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of
violence. Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame; let the poor and
needy praise your name. Arise, O God, defend your cause; remember how
the foolish scoff at you all the day!

James 2:25-26

But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose
what is weak in the world to shame the strong;

Romans 8:1-39

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ
Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law,
weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in
order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in
us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For
those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of
the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on
the things of the Spirit. ...

lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. ...

immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit,
sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things
come from within, and they defile a person.”

Matthew 25:1-13

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their
lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and
five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil
with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the
bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. ...

Proverbs 26:1-28

Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a
fool. Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a
curse that is causeless does not alight. A whip for the horse, a bridle
for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools. Answer not a fool
according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool
according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. ...

yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten,
and plead urgently with your neighbor. Give your eyes no sleep and your
eyelids no slumber; save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the
hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler. ...

down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain
and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid
up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ But God said to him,
‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have
prepared, whose will they be?’ ...

watch. For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not
dwell with you. The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate
all evildoers. ...

made the gold sacred?

Romans 11:19-22

Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted
in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but
you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if
God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. Note
then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who
have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his
kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.
