Thematic Bible: The simple deceived by


Thematic Bible



So Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without sense;
They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

The naive believes everything,
But the sensible man considers his steps.

And I saw among the naive,
And discerned among the youths
A young man lacking sense,

“How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?

“O naive ones, understand prudence;
And, O fools, understand wisdom.
