From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I said unto the fools -To the wicked people in rebellion. Folly and wickedness in the Bible are synonymous terms, as they are identical in fact. See the notes atPsalms 14:1. Deal not foolishly -Act not foolishly; carry not out your wicked plans. Do not pursue your schemes of wickedness and folly, for they cannot be successful, and they will only tend to involve you in ruin. And to the wicked -The wicked people engaged in rebellion - either against a lawful human government, or against God. Lift not up the horn -The horn is a symbol of strength. CompareJob 16:15;Daniel 7:7-8,Daniel 7:11,Daniel 7:21;Daniel 8:5,Daniel 8:8-9,Daniel 8:21.
