Pro 17:16
Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
When he has no sense?

Pro 17:21
He who sires a fool does so to his sorrow,
And the father of a fool has no joy.

Pro 17:24
Wisdom is in the presence of the one who has understanding,
But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

The one who sires a fool does so to his sorrow.
Why?

Because…
The Fool seeks to buy wisdom, yet he has no sense.
The Fool has his eyes on the ends of the earth…the things of the earth.

The father of The Fool has no joy.

What of the Wise?
They have understanding.
They do not need to “buy” wisdom.

Seek wisdom.
Seek understanding.

Have you been The Fool?
Are you The Fool?

Know there is hope.
Turn from the foolish ways.
Turn to the Lord.
