How long O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in Scoffing and fools hate knowledge? (Proverbs 1:22)
Sadly, most people are naive and simple-minded because they fail to seek God's knowledge and wisdom, neglecting the counsel of His word. They are scoffers and fools who hate true knowledge and wisdom; And you neglected all my counsel and did not want my reproof. (Provers 2:25)
Those who fail to seek God's counsel and/or obey the instruction of God's word will suffer the consequences; Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord. They would not accept my counsel. They spurned all my reproof. So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and be satiated (satisfied) with their own devices, (Proverbs 1:29-31)
But the fruit of God's counsel is true knowledge and godly wisdom which gives us confidence in our decisions and the peace of God in every circumstance; But he who listens to me shall live securely and will be at ease from the dread of evil. (Proverbs 1:33) But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5)
