Wisdom and foolishness are like light and darkness. Wisdom also gives a person a great advantage in the world. An example of this can be found in 1 Samuel 25:1–44. Abigail is a wise woman while her husband Nabal is a fool. With her wisdom, Abigail saves her husband’s life and that of many others as well. Human wisdom and reason are not worthless.
14 The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them.
