Based on the previous verse, we would think that the fool is the worst person of all. Yet here we learn that the vain and conceited man is worse than the fool. A proud person who is intoxicated with a false sense of self-importance is the furthest from hope. Let us learn to crucify in ourselves vanity even more than foolishness.
12 Si tu vois un homme qui se croit sage,Il y a plus à espérer d'un insensé que de lui.
