The Life of a Fxol
by Steve McCranie | Feb 18, 2016
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
But fxols despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7
In the Proverbs we are presented with the contrast between two types of individuals: the wise man and the fxol. We’ve already seen how the “wise man will hear and increase learning” and how a “man of understanding will attain wise counsel” (Prov. 1:5). And now we’re introduced to the man who lives at the other end of the spectrum— the fool.
But what is a fxol? And what is it about a fxol that compels him to “despise wisdom and instruction?” (Prov. 1:7).
The Fxol Defined
When we use the term fxol today we think of someone who acts unwisely or imprudently, maybe a silly person who tries to dupe, trick or prank us. We often equate the term with being stxpid, simple or naive. But the word, as used in the Proverbs, has a much sinister meaning.
In Proverbs 1:7 the Hebrew word for fxol is eviyl and means “fxolish in the sense of one who hates wisdom and walks in folly by despising wisdom and morality.” It describes one who “mocks when found guilty, one who is continually quarrelsome and one who is licentious in his behavior.”
After all, the Proverbs say that “fxols hate knowledge” (Prov. 1:22) and “fxols die for lack of wisdom” (Prov. 10:21). The heart of a fxol, the very center of their being “proclaims fxolishness” (Prov. 12:23) and it’s against their very nature, in fact, “it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil” and do what is right (Prov. 13:19). Fxols “mock at sin” (Prov. 14:9), and their mouth not only “feeds on fxolishness” but “pours forth foolishness” like a flood (Prov. 15:2, 14).
