Proverbs 6:15

Proverbs 6:15

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

God is just. Those who consistently sow harm will reap a sudden, irreversible reckoning — a sobering warning about the fruit of wickedness.

Memory phrase: Wrong choices bring real consequences.

Talk about it: Why do you think trouble always catches up with a troublemaker in the end?

Prayer: God, help me remember that every choice has a result — and help me choose what is right.
