What Proverbs Says About Fools

The book of Proverbs has much to say about fools, foolishness, and the pursuit of wisdom.

This lesson discusses: • The babbling fool • The slandering fool • The fool who mocks sin • The fool who despises correction • The quarrelsome meddler • The fool who trusts his own heart • The fool who cannot control his emotions • Why true wisdom begins with reverence for God Key Scripture References: Proverbs 26:1-11 Proverbs 10:8-23 Proverbs 14:8-12 Proverbs 15:5 Proverbs 17:24-28 Proverbs 20:3 Proverbs 28:26 Psalm 14:1 Matthew 7:21-23 Acts 2:38 Please LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE for more Bible classes and sermons from the Kempner church of Christ.
