What does the Bible say about wisdom and folly?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that wisdom is superior to folly, emphasizing the importance of seeking God's wisdom for guidance in life.

In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon contrasts wisdom with folly, asserting that while it may seem obvious that wisdom is better, human nature often sways towards foolishness, especially in matters of salvation. True wisdom comes from God and is revealed through His word and, most importantly, through Christ. Wisdom points us to rely on God's grace rather than our own efforts, as Solomon highlights the folly of human wisdom that can lead us astray. Essentially, true wisdom is knowing God and recognizing Jesus Christ as the embodiment of divine wisdom.
