A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

Every prudent man acts with knowledge, But a fool lays open his folly.

Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom, Since he has no heart for it?

Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

So he took up his oracle and said:“ The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor, And the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened;The utterance of him who hears the words of God, And has the knowledge of the Most High, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Who falls down, with eyes wide open:

Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.

And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their region.

Even when a fool walks along the way, He lacks wisdom, And he shows everyone that he is a fool.

They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will:

“ How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.
