Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
Proverbs 26:7 ESV

A fool doesn't understand the meaning or application of a proverb. He uses it to mock or bludgeon or to make himself look wise without doing any of the work required to gain real wisdom. If people listen to his advice, he's more likely to do harm with the best intentions.

There is a #chiasm in the #10plagues of Egypt:

a. Blood
.b. Frogs
..c. Lice
...d. Flies
....e. Cattle
....e. Man/beast
...d. Hail
..c. Locust
.b. Darkness
a. Firstborn

Do you see the link between opposing plagues in the 10 Plagues chiasm?

Plagues 1/10: Both attacked the very life of Egypt: the Nile and firstborn sons.
Plagues 2/9: Ever taken a country road at night and seen frogs everywhere? Most frogs are nocturnal.
Plagues 3/8: The lice were the "finger of God" and the locusts came because Pharaoh sinned against God.
Plagues 4/7: Goshen was spared in both plagues.
Plagues 5/6: Both were directed against higher lifeforms, aka nephesh.

The next 3 parts in the series are up..



For some reason, it won't let me put all three links up, so I will put the other two in the comments.

It is the glory of God to conceal things...
Proverbs 25:2 ESV

Some things God has hidden should never be explored. God has forbidden delving into them. That doesn't mean that they can't be known at all, but that it will be harmful for us to know them. "The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth" should be understood as "all kinds of truth". See Deuteronomy 29:29.
