The Way Of Folly

[13] A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. [14] For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, [15] To call passengers who go right on their ways: [16] Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, [17] Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. [18] But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

• Heart

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.

He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
