"Let all who are simple come in here!" she (folly) says to those who lack judgment." (Proverbs 09:16)
Folly is a plague to anyone who wants to live a good life. It is foolishness, wasted effort to no real purpose. The writer of Proverbs likens wisdom and folly to women who are calling out to young men to come to them. Much like the adulteress in the little drama played out in the seventh chapter of Proverbs, the woman folly calls out to the simple trying to entice them into some fruitless pursuit. She succeeds only with those who lack judgment. The lesson for any of us, men or women, is that wisdom will protect us from foolish acts. We have to be on guard against foolish enticements, and act wisely, as God would have us act. Be careful, be thoughtful, be wise!
