Precepts and WarningsA foolish scheme The Hebrew word for "foolish" is "אִוֶּלֶת" (ivvelet), which often denotes not just a lack of wisdom, but a moral deficiency. In the context of Proverbs, foolishness is frequently contrasted with wisdom, which is rooted in the fear of the Lord. A "scheme" here implies a plan or device that is crafted without regard for God's righteous standards. Historically, the Israelites were warned against devising plans that were contrary to God's will, as seen in the narratives of the Old Testament where human schemes often led to downfall. This phrase serves as a reminder that any plan or thought process that does not align with divine wisdom is inherently sinful. is sin and a mocker is detestable to men Parallel Commentaries ...
