Have you ever noticed how much a foolish man loves to talk? He can babble for hours without saying anything.
Proverbs 10:19 says, “When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable…” The foolish man abounds in his ignorance because he does not remain silent long enough to listen and ponder wisdom. Therefore his accusations are quick and shallow, but their arrows are sharp and can cause destruction. That is because there are plenty of unwise individuals who love to listen.
Peter advised, the way to handle foolish men is by maintaining a life that is submitted to authority. He says this puts to silence the ignorance of foolish men (1 Peter 2:15). They have nothing that can substantiate their empty accusations.
