Foolish = adjective lacking good sense or judgement; silly or unwise
Stupid = adjective lacking intelligence or common sense.
A person who is intellligent can also be foolish - they can do or say things without judgement. They can also do stupid things.
A stupid person will not be able to judge whether the actions are sensible or not.

I think that when you're foolish you know what you're doing and you go ahead and do it anyway. And that would be a stupid move. So then why the heck would you go ahead and do it in the first place? I would rather call the person stupid at that point and give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they will find Mercy from *** and that case but he is the one who knows the heart now isn't He?
