[:en]Sometimes a fool can do damage to the character and reputation of a wise man (v. 1). The world seems to honor the fool and humiliate the honorable (vs. 5-7). But never allow folly in your life (vs. 8-9). Work smarter through training and practice, not harder without skills (v. 10).
The world thinks that money is the answer to every problem. The scripture recognizes that money is necessary for survival but it was against the love of money. Money is dangerous because it deceives us to trust money than God to solve our problems. Those who pursue its empty promise will discover that they are spiritually bankrupt. (v. 19) Watch your words because even a bird can carry it and repent what you say (v. 20)[:]
