“The instruction of fools is folly.” So says the Lord in Proverbs 16:22. I personally believe there’s a ton of Wisdom loaded into that short Bible Sentence.

Now let’s add another divinely inspired Line to our discussion …

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” Proverbs 14:1, a verse that capsulizes American education today, in our State Universities! So called schools of “higher learning!” Public education now, by law, can promote no god, no God! That’s atheism, that’s foolishness!

No wonder we have elected (or so we are told they’ve been elected) a hefty crop of “fools” (again, merely using the Bible definition).

Yes, “The instruction of fools is folly.” And here “folly” suggests “mocking, quarrelsomeness, perversity,” especially the sexual kind.

Absolutely accurate in describing the world today!

We’re about back to pre-Flood days, I think. “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil CONTINUALLY.” Genesis 6:5

And when the Universities of “folly” continue poisoning society without hindrance … THE JUDGMENT OF ALMIGHTY GOD WILL (SOONER OR LATER) FALL!

Is there hope anywhere? Not for the Nation any longer but for the individual? For the godly heart?

Yes, the whole verse, Proverbs 16:22, does add: “UNDERSTANDING is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.”

“Then Lord, give us understanding, we pray. “

And the answer comes, reverberates … “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10

Wow!
