'Foolish' in the Bible

Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah.)

I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.

Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.

This is the way of the foolish; their silver is for those who come after them, and their children get the pleasure of their gold. (Selah.)

Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.

I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.

Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?
