It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe actions, thoughts, or behaviors that are contrary to wisdom and understanding. This term is frequently associated with moral and spiritual deficiencies, highlighting the contrast between the wise and the foolish.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, wisdom was highly valued and considered a divine gift. The concept of folly, therefore, was not merely intellectual deficiency but a moral and spiritual failing. The wisdom literature of the Old Testament, particularly the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, often contrasts wisdom with folly, emphasizing the consequences of foolish behavior. In a society where communal living and adherence to God's laws were paramount, folly was seen as a threat to both personal and communal well-being.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/191.htm">evil</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>folly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>folly (17), foolish (1), foolishly (1), foolishness (6).<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">אִוֶּ֫לֶת</font><sub>25</sub> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>folly.</b></font> — absolute <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/12-23.htm">Proverbs 12:23</a> +; construct <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/14-8.htm">Proverbs 14:8</a> +; suffix <font class="hebrew2">אִוַּלְתִּי</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/38-6.htm">Psalm 38:6</a>, etc.; — <em>folly</em>, special product of <font class="hebrew2">כְּסִילִים</font> (see <font class="hebrew2">כֶּסֶל</font>) <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/12-23.htm">Proverbs 12:23</a> + (12 t.); with <font class="hebrew2">מְּתָאִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/14-18.htm">Proverbs 14:18</a>; with <font class="hebrew2">אֱוִלִיים</font> only <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/16-22.htm">Proverbs 16:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/27-22.htm">Proverbs 27:22</a> for alliteration.
