'Fools' in the Bible

Be careful what you do when you go to the temple of God; draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice like fools, for they do not realize that they are doing wrong.

When you make a vow to God, do not delay in paying it. For God takes no pleasure in fools: Pay what you vow!

The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of merrymaking.

It is better for a person to receive a rebuke from those who are wise than to listen to the song of fools.

Do not let yourself be quickly provoked, for anger resides in the lap of fools.

The words of the wise are heard in quiet, more than the shouting of a ruler is heard among fools.

Fools are placed in many positions of authority, while wealthy men sit in lowly positions.
