The word of God and wisdom acquired by a foolish person become a weapon to slander others or to oppose others, or a tool used for arguments that prioritize only their own words. However, to a wise person, the wisdom of the word becomes a mirror to seek out their own weaknesses and shame, and a nourishment for the heart that brings benefit and virtue to others. The true wisdom of God is a spotless nourishment for the heart that leads many people to the righteous path, a lamp that reflects a conscience following mercy, compassion, and virtue, united with abundant wisdom and love, possessing beautiful depth, breadth, and height.
The wisdom of a foolish person who pursues outward appearance and shells is found in the presence of their lips and words. Thus, like a pit without depth, it is a faith that easily dries up or wavers, a life that grows increasingly weary and embittered. Outwardly they laugh, but inwardly they cannot laugh; Though the flesh is pleased, but it is merely a vain laughter that does not arise from depth or the heart. Thus, they are nothing but lives increasingly worn out and consumed by the ways of the world.
Like water in a pit without depth, their good heart and righteous conscience gradually dry up. With what shall they fill it, with what shall they be comforted, and with what shall they achieve anything? In their youth, within a vain faith where they take pride, are confident, aspire, and resolve, they do not recognize their conscience drying up, obscured by vigor. What will remain in the place where vigor once stood when it fades in later days? Because it gradually dries up, it becomes a life increasingly weary and embittered; because it dries up completely, revealing the bottom, it is a life of vanity, a futile and empty existence. What use is there in struggling with belated regret, praying, and pleading? Where are the tears of the first love (the initial faith) as in days past, and where is the earnest devotion of pleading? Even if they fill the gaps of a heart that has dried up and cracked to the bottom with just a few drops of tears, how can they fully replenish a desolate heart, laid bare to its depths, with tears of regret?
Lives that pursue only shells and appearances throughout their lifetime, and faiths that follow only words and theories, are all like this. Thus, swayed by vigor that deceives the conscience, all that remains within is the sin produced by a foolish faith that clings only to their own grandiose claims and shells, having deceived their conscience.
