Foolish and Foolishly Bible Verses

As followers of Christ, we should make a strong effort, not to appear foolish to other people or before God. The bible says we should be wise (smart) and get away from evil while pointing out that foolish people act out in rage and are very confident about their ill behavior. We need to be careful so that we do not become as fools before God by avoiding evil and the appearance of evil.
A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. Prov. 14:16
