"Foolish people! How long do you want to be foolish? How long will you enjoy making fun of knowledge? Will you never learn?

It is foolish to enjoy doing wrong. Intelligent people take pleasure in wisdom.

Someone who tricks someone else and then claims that he was only joking is like a crazy person playing with a deadly weapon.

(SEE 26:18)

This is how an unfaithful wife acts: she commits adultery, takes a bath, and says, "But I haven't done anything wrong!"

And we drink evil as if it were water; yes, we are corrupt; we are worthless.

Have you ever seen anyone like this man Job? He never shows respect for God.

He says that it never does any good to try to follow God's will.

They said to you, "When the last days come, people will appear who will make fun of you, people who follow their own godless desires."

If you do this, both God and people will be pleased with you.

Those who find me find life, and the LORD will be pleased with them.

The LORD is pleased with good people, but condemns those who plan evil.

Intelligence wins respect, but those who can't be trusted are on the road to ruin.

For God's Kingdom is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of the righteousness, peace, and joy which the Holy Spirit gives.

And when you serve Christ in this way, you please God and are approved by others.
