Proverbs 10:6 New International Version (NIV)
6 Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
Jesus told Peter, "Those who live by the sword will die
by the sword." Violence begets violence and rarely does a violent person
not have to taste the bitter repayment of violence. God's Wise Man is saying
essentially the same thing in this verse, but with one key addition. Blessings
come to the person who is righteous. We reap what we sow!
Thought for today:
Do I engage in petty behaviors seeking to get even and finding a sense of
balance in seeking revenge?
