calling someone a fool

²²But I say to you, that anyone who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment. But whoever will have called his brother, ‘Idiot,’ shall be liable to the council. Then, whoever will have called him, ‘Worthless,’ shall be liable to the fires of Hell.

¹Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.

¹¹A foolish one offers everything on his mind. A wise one reserves and defers until later.

¹⁷You are foolish and blind! For which is greater: the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?

¹⁵The way of the foolish is right in his own eyes. But whoever is wise listens to counsels.

²The foolish do not accept words of prudence, unless you say what is already turning in his heart.

¹⁹How blind you are! For which is greater: the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

¹⁸Lying lips conceal hatred; whoever brings forth contempt is unwise.

¹⁸Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish, so that he may be truly wise.

⁷The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The foolish despise wisdom as well as doctrine.

²⁰But God said to him: ‘Foolish one, this very night they require your soul of you. To whom, then, will those things belong, which you have prepared?’

²⁵For what is foolishness to God is considered wise by men, and that which is weakness to God is considered strong by men.
