Error is typical of fools, the Book of Proverbs in the Bible teaches with its spiritual sentences, and it is up to the sensible man to avoid this problem, because there are behaviors ordered to rewards and others ordered to punishments. And this type of reasoning is found at the very beginning of sapiential literature with an expression from Psalm 1: "The LORD knows the way of righteous people, but the way of wicked people will end" Psalm 1:6.
And so the Book of Proverbs leaves a beautiful phrase on which to reflect: "Good people think before they answer, but the wicked speak evil without ever thinking" Proverbs 15:28. In other words, good and evil are solutions in the ways of man, and just as the God-fearing man seeks to avoid suffering by meditating on his answers, the foolish man does not, each person draws from his heart what he has inside, teaches the sapiential literature, something that Jesus with wisdom also affirmed in the gospels. A very important practical consequence follows from this spiritual truth, fools are unfailingly people who should be avoided, first because they do not avoid their own suffering or that of others, and finally because men learn by imitation as the Book of Proverbs explains: "Wise friends make you wise, but you hurt yourself by going around with fools" Proverbs 13:20.
And the truth of the teaching of the Book of Proverbs about meditating on the answers can be seen in the story of King Solomon with the two prostitutes, the King of Israel with his heart dedicated to God did perfect justice through sacred listening in a very difficult situation. A similar case occurs in the Book of Daniel, when the prophet after whom the book is named saves a woman named Susanna from being stoned. With its teachings, the Book of Proverbs invites men to seek and value everything that leads man to that infinite wisdom of God that blesses life and the universe.
