The Gold of Fools

The Gold of Fools" is a biblical story (from the Book of Kings) about King Jeroboam I, who, after a victory, builds golden calves for worship instead of revering God. The phrase symbolizes misguided or foolish pursuits—those chasing false idols or material wealth instead of spiritual or truly valuable goals. It highlights how misplaced priorities can lead to downfall. In essence, it serves as a cautionary tale about valuing superficial riches or objects over meaningful principles, reminding us that true worth lies beyond material possessions.
