Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes. 6. He cuts off his own feet and drinks violence Who sends a message by the hand of a fool. 7. Like the legs which are useless to the lame, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 8. Like one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.9. Like a thorn which falls into the hand of a drunkard, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 10. Like an archer who wounds everyone, so is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by. 11. Like a dog that returns to its vomit is a fool who repeats his folly. 12. Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Proverbs 27:22 Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his foolishness will not depart from him. Proverbs 29.9: When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, the foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest. Proverbs 10:13. On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found. But a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding. Proverbs 14:6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none; but knowledge is easy to one who has understanding. Proverbs 14:33. Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding. But in the hearts of fools it is made known. Proverbs 14:8 The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way, but the foolishness of fools is deceit. 15. The na�ve believes everything, but the sensible man considers his steps. Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding produces favor, but the way of the treacherous is hard. Proverbs 20:5 A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, but a man of understanding draws it out. Proverbs 20:12 The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the LORD has made both of them I was instructed recently that our eyes and ears must be used to evaluate each person or situation that we encounter. You can try to beat a fool down, but it will not help. A fool reverts to his level, just like the dogs to vomit, even when exposed to something better; and that anyone foolish enough to think he has all the answers causes trouble not only for himself but for everyone who he encounters. As I deal with different people and situations in my own journey, I am finding these scriptures and pastoral instruction to be very helpful in deciding my course of actions in a matter. Hope these will be insightful to all gifted with discernment. *GraceMae Post Reply
View Profile History	Having Discernment and Understanding Posted : 20 Dec, 2009 07:27 PM Ms. GraceMae, Thank you for keeping our feet in Scripture, for it is a solid foundation and very much welcomed by me. I am sure it will be a benefit for many of us. The sad part is that a Fool reading this, will not realize that it speaks to him, becuse he believes he is "the wise one" with discernment spoken of in these verses of Scripture. God is the only hope for fools and it is God that will "lay them flat" in order to perhaps give them a different perspective of reality and hopefully change their minds and hearts. Thanks again Ms. Fillet of Salmon! :-) > PEACE < (by the way...I got these Fishy Thingys from...I can't remember her name...if you see this... e-mail me...Thanks) Post Reply
GraceMae View Profile History	Having Discernment and Understanding Posted : 20 Dec, 2009 07:41 PM I just posted this for us to look and seep in scripture. There is "much" brewing in our world today, AND we "MUST" remember that much of it is"not flesh and blood" but spiritual wickedness in "heavenly places"...... *gracemae Post Reply
