What does the BIBLE say about FOOLS?

Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
Proverbs 26:1
A fool gives vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.
Proverbs 29:11
“For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no
understanding. They are ‘wise’ – in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.”
Jeremiah 4:22
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.

And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

Titus 3:3
BUT when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit whom he poured out on us richly
through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:4-7
