Foolish Ways

Proverbs 18:1-7

He stays secluded in having no good sense,
For the fool it merely appears as nonsense;
Rather let what is in his heart shed light,
Having nothing else to reflect for insight;
When evil comes so does the low opinion,
As shame and loss of honor is his dominion;
The words from a man are as a deep sea,
And the wisdom as a stream flowing free;
Respect for the evil is a dreadful mistake,
An errancy against godly he could make;
And his lips are always ready for a dare,
But to self destruct being totally unaware.
A fool does not know when he is caught,
He only considers from his own thought;
It does not matter what others might say,
As being stubborn and wants his own way;
Since he does not listen to another person.
Paying attention to God has no real reason;
A fool can change but has to pay the price,
Belief in Jesus Christ and why a sacrifice.
