For I testify about them they they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not know about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. Romans 10:2-3
Proverbs tells us what we already know. It is not good for a person to be without knowledge. Unfortunately, too many chasing God in religion do not have the knowledge needed to be victorious. Many are sincere, committed, even zealous for their religion, trying to achieve righteousness by their own effort. That is zeal without knowledge. The way to righteousness is not in our own works, but in receiving it from God through Jesus Christ. When we don't subject ourselves to His righteousness, there will never be any righteousness at all.
