PROVERBS 10:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.”
Pleasure and wisdom: A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes, but a person of understanding delights in wisdom. The fool takes pleasure in harmful plots (lo'asot tavunot resha). The wise person takes delight in wisdom itself (y'shaashu chohmah). These represent radically different sources of satisfaction. The fool's pleasures are destructive; the wise person's delight is in understanding. The young person must examine what delights him and whether his desires are aligned with life or death.
