'Folly' in the Bible

He will die for lack of instruction,And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray.

The woman of folly is boisterous,She is naive and knows nothing.

The naive inherit foolishness,But the sensible are crowned with knowledge.

The crown of the wise is their riches,But the folly of fools is foolishness.

The mind of the intelligent seeks knowledge,But the mouth of fools feeds on folly.

Folly is joy to him who lacks sense,But a man of understanding walks straight.

Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs,Rather than a fool in his folly.

Answer a fool as his folly deserves,That he not be wise in his own eyes.

Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
