 The ignorance of men causes a cacophony of confusion. In contrast, we know that there is a God who is rational and causes peace. <ref>[[Ge 41:8]]  And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.</ref> <ref>[[Ge 41:16]]  And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.</ref>
-It is foolish to call a man or idol 'God'; 'eloah'. Eloah says that such a declaration; that the man or idol is a God, is totally foolish and made plain by the ignorance of the claim. It is a god for the foolish.
+It is foolish to call a man or idol 'God', or to follow your own council of good and evil; 'eloah'. Eloah says that such a declaration; that the man (yourself) or idol is a God, is totally foolish and made plain by the ignorance of the claim. It is a god for the foolish.
