Fool

A stupid person does not know,
a fool does not understand this:

But I tell you, everyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Fool!’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You moron!’ will be subject to hellfire.

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared—whose will they be?’

Said

In all his scheming,
the wicked arrogantly thinks:
“There is no accountability,
since God does not exist.”

Jeroboam said to himself, “The way things are going now, the kingdom might return to the house of David.

For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened.

Have done

“Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves by all these things.

You must not do the same to the Lord your God, because they practice every detestable thing, which the Lord hates, for their gods. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.

there were even male cult prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had dispossessed before the Israelites.

Didn’t you walk in their ways and do their detestable practices? It was only a short time before you behaved more corruptly than they did.

For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret.

For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the pagans choose to do: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

There is

as it is written:

There is no one righteous, not even one.
