Strong Concordance | Ec 10:12 | The words [01697] of a wise man's [02450] mouth [06310] are gracious [02580]; but the lips [08193] of a fool [03684] will swallow up [01104] himself. |
Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
FOOL | Any person who does not act wisely, that is, does not follow the warnings and requirements of God, which are founded in infinite wisdom. Hence "a fool" is put for a wicked man, an enemy or neglecter of God, Ps 14:1 Pr 19:1. So folly is put for wickedness, 2Sa 13:12,13 Ps 38:5, foolish lusts for wicked lusts, etc. Foolish talking, foolish questions, are vain, empty, unprofitable conversation, 2Ti 2:23. |
