Folly


“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

Proverbs 14:12

   “The wages of sin is death.”

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

Proverbs 18:21

“The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.”  

Proverbs 21:6

     “A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.  

It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.  

Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.  

The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.”

Ecclesiastes 7:1-4

  “Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.  

  Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:”  

“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.”  

Isaiah  28:14, 15, 18

     “At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:  

  And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.  

  And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Jeremiah 8:1-3

“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

Romans 8:6


 “The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.  

But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.”  

Psalms 115:17, 18

 “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.  

Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.”

Ecclesiastes  

9:5, 6

“They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.”

   Isaiah 26:14
