The Fool (Proverbs 17:16)

Wisdom is not exclusive to a certain type of people or a certain sect of society. Anyone can become wiser.

"Of what use is money in the hand of a [self-confident] fool to buy skillful and godly Wisdom, when he has no understanding or heart for it?" Proverbs 17:16, Amplified

Solomon understood the idea that wisdom is available to everyone but could not understand why the fool had the same opportunities as non-fools. It has been stated before that the fool has said in his heart there is no God, so why give him the opportunity for wisdom? We serve a truly awesome God. In order or Him to be a just God, He must give all the same opportunities. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever should believe in Him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16, NKJV) no one has a corner on the market when it comes to knowing the Lord. Even the fool has the opportunity to know Him.
