A foolish man

by -
Proverbs  12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.  12:16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.  12:17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

Being foolish mean having or showing a lack of good sense, judgment, or discretion.  The proverb  above  reminds us of the importance of humility, discernment, and gracious speech in our lives.

v15. Many are times we  have encountered individuals who, consumed by their pride, refuse to acknowledge the counsel of others. 

A foolish person relies solely on their own understanding, disregarding the valuable insights that those around them may offer. This verse challenges us to adopt the humility necessary to accept advice and acknowledge our limitations.

Verse 16 continues, "A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame." Here we are reminded that a fool's anger is quickly evident, while a wise person exercises restraint.

 Reacting impulsively without considering the consequences can lead to regrettable outcomes. Instead, let us seek patience and self-control, choosing to cover any shame or offense with forgiveness and understanding.

 verse 17 underscores the significance of truthful communication. A wise person speaks with integrity, reflecting righteousness through their words and actions. Conversely, a false witness spreads deceit, sowing discord and mistrust. Let us remember the power of our words and the impact they can have on those around us.

Finally, let us examine our own lives and consider the qualities of wisdom and foolishness. Let us strive to listen to advice, control our anger, and speak truthfully. By doing so, we align ourselves with the path of wisdom and righteousness.

 As we journey forward, may we grow in understanding and become instruments of peace, reflecting the wisdom of our Creator in all that we do.

God bless you.
