Let's sample what the wisdom literature of the Bible says about fools and their folly:
Psalm 14:1 – The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds. Denying God is always tied to sin! It's seldom a purely intellectual argument. ïƒ No God, no accountability; no accountability, no self-constraint.
Proverbs 14:8 – The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is deceit. Fools traffic in deceit.
Proverbs 10:23 – Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool. 15:21 – Folly is joy to him who lacks sense. Wickedness is the fool's favorite pastime. Evil is fun!
Proverbs 14:9 – Fools mock at sin. They make light of wrong.
Proverbs 19:3 - The foolishness of man subverts his way, and his heart rages against the LORD . The fool hates God and godliness.
You ever thought who suffers the most from the folly of a fool? The fool…
Let's open God's Word together to Ecclesiastes 10:1-20.
God wants to instruct you in wisdom by warning you against foolishness!
Five windows on the ways of a fool:
1. When the fool walks (1-3). (last Sunday) 2. When the fool rules (4-7). 3. When the fool works (8-11).
4. When the fool speaks (12-15) (this evening) 5. When the fool parties (16-20).
Remember that Solomon begins by immediately illustrating his big idea (v.1): even a little foolishness is way too much!
