CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Verse 7: Stay away from fools, for you won't find knowledge on their lips. OK so what are the signs that your in the presence of a fool you should be staying away from. Several clues are given to us in this chapter. Fools deceive themselves. Everyone else can see the problem except for the fool. Short-tempered people do foolish things, so you might say fools are probably short-tempered. They make fun of guilt, instead of acknowledging it and seeking reconciliation. A fools paycheck is foolishness. Their financial future is never looking up. And the scariest characteristic of them all is found in verse 33. Wisdom is not found among fools. Which means fools do not fear the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I don't know about you, but I would be a little nervous hanging around someone who doesn't fear the Lord. If there is lighting action going on, I want to be far from it. If you know someone who's resume is similar to that which has been described, give them some loving advice. Tell them to quit, their life depends on it. Your life is to important to consume it with those who do not wish to change their foolish ways.

Get Wisdom,
