How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path of sinners or join a group of mockers!Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Why does a fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?

About food offered to idols: We know that“ we all have knowledge.” Knowledge inflates with pride, but love builds up.

Then he proclaimed his poem: The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eyes are opened;the oracle of one who hears the sayings of God and has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls into a trance with his eyes uncovered:

So also you— since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in building up the church.

At that, the whole town went out to meet Jesus. When they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

Even when the fool walks along the road, his heart lacks sense, and he shows everyone he is a fool.

They have gone astray by abandoning the straight path and have followed the path of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousnessbut received a rebuke for his transgression: A donkey that could not talk spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s irrationality.These people are springs without water, mists driven by a whirlwind. The gloom of darkness has been reserved for them.For by uttering boastful, empty words, they seduce, with fleshly desires and debauchery, people who have barely escaped from those who live in error.They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption, since people are enslaved to whatever defeats them.

To be sure, some preach Christ out of envy and strife, but others out of good will.

“ How long, foolish ones, will you love ignorance? How long will you mockers enjoy mocking and you fools hate knowledge?
