“To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, For You have given me wisdom and power; Even now You have made known to me what we requested of You, For You have made known to us the king’s matter.””

“…And tear your heart and not merely your garments.” Now return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in mercy And relenting of catastrophe.” Joel 2:12-13
Short thread coming because this section from Proverb 26 always get me:
“A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools! Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him…”
“Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them.”
MIC…DROP. Go back & read those verses about the fool. Feeling wise in your own eyes. Better to be the fool. Whew.
“Like an archer who wounds at random is one who hires a fool or any passer-by. As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly…”
Nine verses about the fool, none positive. We’re all nodding along. “Those fools…” Ready for the punchline?
