God’s appeal to his people is to reason it all out (Isa. 1:18)—to come to their senses. It is not by accident that when Nebuchadnezzar’s reason returns to him he praises God, recognizing that “all his works are truth, and his ways are justice” (Dan. 4:37 NRSV). The first lie of the serpent goes deep, however (Gen. 3:1–5), and reason is not easy to come by. We prefer to believe that we are gods-in-waiting and capable of living in our own way and on the basis of our own insights. Thus, folly is valued above wisdom, whether by ordinary people or by those who govern them.
