Folly is Moral, Not Mental
Commentators stress that the "fool" in this verse is not someone lacking intelligence, but someone who is morally corrupt and wicked. Their foolish speech and iniquitous actions are the natural result of their inner character. As Albert Barnes notes, the Hebrews saw sin as the highest form of folly. This verse reveals that a person's words and deeds inevitably expose the state of their heart.
