What does the Bible say about man's foolishness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all humans are born foolish and incapable of seeking God on their own (Proverbs 19:10).

The Scriptures proclaim that man is born into foolishness, exemplified by Adam's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Proverbs 19:10 notes, 'Delight is not seemly for a fool', emphasizing that those who are foolish do not find true delight in the mercy or grace of God. The inherent foolishness of mankind leads to enmity against God, as seen in Romans 3:10-12, which states that no one seeks after God. This fallen state of humanity, characterized by a rejection of divine guidance, underlines the need for God's intervention in the salvation process.
