Fools Say Too Much
1
Unfriendly people care only about themselves;
they lash out at common sense.
2
Fools have no interest in understanding;
they only want to air their own opinions.
Verse 1
Look after people that you do not know! Sometimes angels (God’s servants from heaven) are our guests. (Hebrews 13:2) A sensible person should be friendly.
If someone is not friendly, then he is selfish. He cares about himself, but he does not care about other people. And he refuses to consider their opinions.
This verse tells us that chasing after selfish goals is foolish. So, what should we aim for instead? We should aim for goals that we share with others, which means being part of a community. For Christians, this means belonging to the church, the body of Christ.
Some people say they can love God without going to church, but Proverbs suggests that this goes against good judgment.
Verse 2
A fool hates wisdom. He really knows nothing, but he loves his own ideas. He thinks that his thoughts are more important than the truth.
We should not behave like this. Instead, we should listen to other people. Then we shall learn to be wise.
You know, I have some strong opinions about verse 2, and it is obvious that I should reveal them. … well, no, maybe this is not the best time for that.
Let me ask you: Proverbs describes a loner as an unfriendly and selfish person. A loner wants to keep their faith private. But if someone has truly encountered God, they will want to share that experience with others. Have you shared your faith with others, or are you keeping it to yourself?
