Bible Question: what are all the little folly |
Bible Answer: A little folly? Lack of good judgment. A costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome. Therfore for a man vainly trying to demonstrate his wisdom, or honor, are found to usually become undone based upon the tiniest of follies. Like Osama Bin Laden's folly at poking at the USA sleeping giant. Eventually the giant wakes up and grinds the bones of their taunter to make their bread. Or, the foolish Jews who mistakenly shouted out that the blood of Jesus be upon they and their children. Guess what? It has been. Better to remain humble and be thought stupid than to open ones mouth thus removing all doubt. |
