Lexicon :: Strong's H191 - 'ĕvîl

“For irritation ^H7068 kills ^H2026 the fool ^H191,

And jealousy ^H7068 brings ^H4191 death ^H4191 to the simple ^H6601.

Fools ^H191, because ^H4480 of [fn]their rebellious ^H6588 way ^H1870,

And because ^H4480 of their guilty ^H5771 deeds ^H5771, were afflicted ^H6031.

The fear ^H3374 of the LORD ^H3068 is the beginning ^H7225 of knowledge ^H1847;

Fools ^H191 despise ^H936 wisdom ^H2451 and instruction ^H4148.

Suddenly ^H6597 he follows ^H1980 H310 her

As an ox ^H7794 goes ^H935 to the slaughter ^H2874,

Or as [fn]one walks ^H5914 in ^H5914 ankle ^H5914 bracelets ^H5914 to the discipline ^H4148 of a fool ^H191,

The wise ^H2450 of heart ^H3820 will receive ^H3947 commands ^H4687,

But [fn]a babbling ^H8193 fool ^H191 will come to ruin ^H3832.

One who troubles ^H5916 his own house ^H1004 will inherit ^H5157 wind ^H7307,

And the foolish ^H191 will be servant ^H5650 to the wise-hearted ^H2450.

The way ^H1870 of a fool ^H191 is right ^H3477 in his own eyes ^H5869,

But a person ^H8085 who listens ^H8085 to advice ^H6098 is wise ^H2450.

In the mouth ^H6310 of the foolish ^H191 is a rod ^H2415 for his back ^H1460,

But the lips ^H8193 of the wise ^H2450 will protect ^H8104 them.

A fool ^H191 [fn]rejects ^H5006 his father’s ^H1 discipline ^H4148,

But he who complies ^H8104 with ^H8104 rebuke ^H8433 is sensible ^H6191.

Understanding ^H7922 is a fountain ^H4726 of life ^H2416 to those ^H1167 who ^H1167 have ^H1167 it,

But the discipline ^H4148 of fools ^H191 is foolishness ^H200.

Even ^H1571 a fool ^H191, when he keeps ^H2790 silent ^H2790, is considered ^H2803 wise ^H2450;

When he closes ^H331 his lips ^H8193, he is considered prudent ^H995.

Avoiding ^H7674 strife ^H7379 is an honor ^H3519 for a person ^H376,

But any ^H3605 fool ^H191 will [fn]quarrel ^H1566.

Wisdom ^H2451 is too exalted ^H7311 for a fool ^H191,

He does not open ^H6605 his mouth ^H6310 at the gate ^H8179.

A stone ^H68 is heavy ^H3514 and the sand ^H2344 weighty ^H5192,

But the provocation ^H3708 of a fool ^H191 is heavier ^H3515 than ^H4480 both ^H8147 of them.

When a wise ^H2450 person ^H376 has ^H8199 a ^H8199 controversy ^H8199 with a foolish ^H191 person ^H376,

[fn]The foolish person either rages ^H7264 or laughs ^H7832, and there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 rest ^H5183.

The officials ^H8269 of [fn]Zoan ^H6814 are mere ^H389 fools ^H191;

The advice ^H6098 of Pharaoh’s ^H6547 wisest ^H2450 advisers ^H3289 has become ^H1197 [fn]stupid ^H1197.

How ^H349 can you say ^H559 to Pharaoh ^H6547,

“I am a son ^H1121 of the wise ^H2450, a son ^H1121 of ancient ^H6924 kings ^H4428”?

A highway ^H4547 will be there ^H8033, a roadway ^H1870,

And it will be called ^H7121 the Highway ^H1870 of Holiness ^H6944.

The unclean ^H2931 will not travel ^H5674 on it,

But it will be for the one who walks ^H1980 that way ^H1870,

And fools ^H191 will not wander ^H8582 on it.

“For My people ^H5971 are foolish ^H191,

They do not know ^H3045 Me;

They are foolish ^H5530 children ^H1121

And have ^H995 no ^H3808 understanding ^H995.

They are skillful ^H2450 at doing ^H7489 evil ^H7489,

But they do not know ^H3045 how to do ^H3190 good ^H3190.”

The days ^H3117 of punishment ^H6486 have come ^H935,

The days ^H3117 of retribution ^H7966 have come ^H935;

[fn]Let Israel ^H3478 know ^H3045 this!

The prophet ^H5030 is a fool ^H191,

The [fn]inspired ^H7307 person ^H376 is insane ^H7696,

Because ^H5921 of the grossness ^H7230 of your wrongdoing ^H5771,

And because your [fn]hostility ^H4895 is so great ^H7227.
