The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. – Proverbs 1:7
The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice. - Proverbs 12:15
He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe. - Proverbs 28:26
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. – 1 Corinthians 1:18
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. - Titus 3:3-7
