For the music director; by David.
14:1 Fools say to themselves, 2 “There is no God.” 3
They sin and commit evil deeds; 4
none of them does what is right. 5
92:6 The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this;
the fool does not understand this. 6
94:8 Take notice of this, 7 you ignorant people! 8
You fools, when will you ever understand?
1:7 Fearing the Lord 9 is the beginning 10 of moral knowledge, 11
but 12 fools 13 despise 14 wisdom and instruction. 15
1:22 “How long will you simpletons 16 love naiveté? 17
How long 18 will mockers 19 delight 20 in mockery 21
and fools 22 hate knowledge?
8:5 You who are naive, discern 23 wisdom!
And you fools, understand discernment! 24
5:4 When you make a vow 25 to God, do not delay in paying it. 26
For God 27 takes no pleasure in fools:
Pay what you vow!
1:13 You are too just 28 to tolerate 29 evil;
you are unable to condone 30 wrongdoing.
So why do you put up with such treacherous people? 31
Why do you say nothing when the wicked devour 32 those more righteous than they are? 33
