The Fools arsenal
Job 21
13 They spend their days in wealth, And in a moment go
down to the grave.
14 Yet they say to God, 'Depart from us, For we do not
desire the knowledge of Your ways.
15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And
what profit do we have if we pray to Him?'
16 Indeed their prosperity is not in their hand; The
counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Psalm 10
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not
seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and
oppression; Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
Psalm 53
1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no
God." They are Corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; there
is none who does good.
Proverbs 1
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love
simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate
knowledge.
23 Turn at my reproof; surely I will pour out my
spirit on you; I will make my
words known to you.
24 Because I have called and you refused; I have
stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;
25 But you disdained all my counsel, And would have
none of my reproof,
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock
when your terror comes;
27 When your terror comes like a storm, and your
destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come
upon you.
28 "Then shall they call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the
fear of the LORD,
30 They would have none of my counsel And despised all
my reproof,
31 Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own
way, And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32 For the turning away of the simple will slay them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and
will be secure, without fear of evil."
Proverbs 9
6 Forsake foolishness and live, And go in the
way of understanding.
7 "He who reproves a scoffer gets shame for
himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blemish.
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you;
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be
still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs 10
23 To do evil is like sport to a fool, but a man of
understanding has wisdom.
24 The fear of the wicked will come upon him, And the
desire of the righteous will be granted.
28 The hope of the righteous will be gladness, but the
expectation of the wicked will perish.
29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright, But
destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
Proverbs 12
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he
who heads counsel is wise.
Proverbs 13
1 A wise son heeds his father's instruction, But
a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
Proverbs 14
16 A wise man fears and departs from evil. But a fool
rages, and is self-confident.
33 Wisdom rests quietly in the heart of him who has
understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known.
Proverbs 15
12 A scoffer does not love one who reproves him, Nor
will he go to the wise.
21 Folly is joy to him who is destitute of
discernment, But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
Proverbs 23
9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he
will despise the wisdom of your words.
Proverbs 29
11 A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds
them back.
Matthew 7
6 "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor
cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their
feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
Romans 3
13 "Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues
they have practiced deceit"; "The poison of asps is under their
lips";
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
IF I'M CRAZY IT'S BECAUSE....
2 Corinthians 5
13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or
if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
14 For the love of Christ constrains us, because we
judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;
15 and He died for all, that those who live should
live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and
rose again.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have
become new.
18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to
Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of
reconciliation,
19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the
world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has
committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though
God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf,
be reconciled to God.
