A Heart of Folly

(Proverbs 24:9 KJV)  The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

If you think about it you can see the common root word in “folly NASB” (200) and “foolishness KJV”.  The common idea is being a fool.  As I looked through different commentaries I thought what Adam Clarke had to say was interesting.

    “Fool is here taken for a wicked man, who is not only evil in his actions, but every thought of his heart is evil, and that continually. A simple thought about foolishness, or about sin itself, is not sinful; it is the purpose or device, the harbouring evil thoughts, and devising how to sin, that is criminal”

Adam Clarke was a contemporary of our Founding Fathers. 

So?  Where your heart is, thus goes your planning.  Make sure your heart is right.
