A foolish man has no pleasure in good sense, but only to let what is in his heart come to light.

Then he went on with his story and said, These are the words of Balaam, the son of Beor, the words of him whose eyes are open:

Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

A sharp man keeps back his knowledge; but the heart of foolish men makes clear their foolish thoughts.

The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.

A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.

How will money in the hand of the foolish get him wisdom, seeing that he has no sense?

And when the foolish man is walking in the way, he has no sense and lets everyone see that he is foolish.

And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.

Turning out of the true way, they have gone wandering in error, after the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was pleased to take payment for wrongdoing;

How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:
