What the Bible says about Folly as Silliness
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Proverbs 14:8 True wisdom is skill in living, carrying with it the ability to judge present circumstances with a view of future success. The prudent person consciously follows truth. He deliberately chooses the right and thus does not walk on blindly. Folly is senselessness, silliness, or irrationality. Why? Because the person deceiving is himself deceived. He does not realize his deceit will also crush him! What profit is in this sin? God has taken particular pains to impress upon us that it will boomerang and catch the perpetrator. John W. Ritenbaugh The Ninth Commandment (1997) Related Topics: Folly as Irrationality | Folly as Senselessness | Irrationality | Sin will find you out | Wisdom as Skill | Wisdom as Skill in Living | Your Sin will Find You Out
