The Way of Folly
“A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.”
Proverbs 9:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 9:13
Foolish woman is loud, simple, and knows nothing. Contrasting Wisdom (9:1-6), Folly is personified as foolish woman. The Hebrew 'hamah' (loud/tumultuous), 'pethiy' (simple/naive), and 'yada mah' (knows nothing) describe her character. Foolishness is noisy, ignorant, but confident. The fool speaks much while knowing little. Proverbs consistently portrays folly as loud and wisdom as measured. Noise doesn't indicate substance; often it covers ignorance.
