Bible Commentary

Proverbs 11:21

No alliance of wickedness — however powerful or popular — can circumvent God's justice. The 'hand join in hand' image suggests organised evil. Yet God's justice is certain. And the righteous — and even their offspring — are under God's protective care.

Memory phrase: The wicked cannot hide.

Talk about it: Why can we trust God when bad things seem unfair?

Prayer: God, thank You that justice belongs to You.
