The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
A foolish scheme is sin, and a mocker is detestable to men.
The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
The thought of foolishness is sin; And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
The purpose of the foolish is sin: and the hater of authority is disgusting to others.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 7–9
A weak man thinks wisdom is too high for him, therefore he will take no pains for it. It is bad to do evil, but worse to devise it. Even the first risings of sin in the heart are sin, and must be repented of. Those that strive to make others hateful, make themselves so.
