Foolish
Control Anger by Hiding It Till Its Emotions Passes You By

Proverbs 14:3. God says that you are a fool when you are full of pride (Proverbs 14:3, “In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

Definition of Deception – Hope In Temporary Things and Not In Things Eternal
Job 27:8. Another aspect of the definition of deception is that it is only temporary. A deception is only a deception until it is found out. It is temporary. On the other hand, truth is eternal.
