Foolishness

Now someone told David: “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David pleaded, “O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

For a fool speaks foolishness; his mind plots iniquity. He practices ungodliness and speaks falsely about the LORD; he leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.

…greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

…but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”

I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.
