Proverbs 7:7
7:7 and I saw among the naive –
I discerned among the youths –
a young man who lacked wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 7:25-26
True Righteousness and Wisdom are Virtually Nonexistent
7:25 I tried to understand, examine, and comprehend
the role of wisdom in the scheme of things,
and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the insanity of folly.
7:26 I discovered this:
More bitter than death is the kind of woman who is like a hunter’s snare;
her heart is like a hunter’s net and her hands are like prison chains.
The man who pleases God escapes her,
but the sinner is captured by her.

5:8 They are like lusty, well-fed stallions.
Each of them lusts after his neighbor’s wife.

you foolish people who have no understanding,
who have eyes but do not discern,
who have ears but do not perceive:
Romans 1:22-24
1:22 Although they claimed
to be wise, they became fools
1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings
or birds or four-footed animals
or reptiles.
1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.
