Fool

נָבָל (Nabal)

A fool — one who is morally senseless and lives as though God does not exist.

Hebrew

Pronunciation: nah-BAHL

Definition

The Hebrew word nabal describes a fool who is morally senseless — not lacking intelligence but living in willful disregard of God and His ways.

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”

“He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.”

“Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.”
