Foolish To Try Removing Folly From A Fool – Proverbs 27:22

22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
grinding them like grain with a pestle,
you will not remove their folly from them.

Proverbs Club Commentary

In Scripture, a fool is a godless person.
Searching for God is the only hope for a fool.

I often hear people say,
“I am not religious, but I am spiritual.”
IOW: “I don’t need God. I follow a different path.”

23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent lips with an evil heart.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Lying lips reveal an evil heart.
The silver dross is the bait of a half-truth,
which is even more devious and dangerous than a lie.

1 Do not envy the wicked,
do not desire their company;

2 for their hearts plot violence,
and their lips talk about making trouble.

Avert the Wicked.
They bring only violence and trouble.

5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

Proverbs Club Commentary

How much money did that rich guy leave behind when he died?
Every penny of it; plus the Crypto Currency.
