It often describes actions or behaviors that are considered disgraceful or lacking in wisdom, particularly in a spiritual or moral sense. The word is associated with a lack of understanding or discernment, often leading to shameful or sinful conduct.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, wisdom was highly valued, and foolishness was seen as a moral failing rather than merely a lack of intelligence. The concept of "nevalu" or "nevali" would have been understood as a serious character flaw, often leading to social and spiritual consequences. The Israelites were encouraged to seek wisdom and understanding, which were seen as gifts from God, in contrast to the folly that leads one away from God's commandments.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) perhaps of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a refuse heap<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>refuse heap (1), rubbish heap (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">נְוָלוּ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">נְוָלִר</font> (K<sup>§ 61, 4. 5</sup>) </p><p style="sub1"> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>refuse-heap</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">נְוָלִי</font> <em>dung-heap</em>;
