Empty barrels make the most noise - Proverbs 17-18

Proverbs 18:2 - "A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind." I have observed that those who have no understanding of God and lack a desire to want to pursue that knowledge of Him have no problem airing their foolishness. When you have nothing in the barrell and you hit it you get more noise. So, too in life. When you have little in the heart the noise coming out of it can be deefening. These two chapters are fool of proverbs about the fool. He/she is a grief to his parents (17:25). He goes against all that is true and right and it makes no sense for him to evey buy wisdom if he could (17:16). He struggles to find what is right and know it when he sees it (17:24). He is better off not talking than to simply reveal his ignorance and foolishness (17:28; 18:6,7). Foolish people are not hard to locate. They reveal themselves rather quickly and do so with they emptiness that is in their heart through the foolishness that comes through their lips. What is in the well comes up in the bucket ... in the case of the fool, there is not much in the bucket ... so says Solomon.
