Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:22

The ruin that falls on those who rebel against God and authority is sudden and unpredictable — no one can calculate how bad it will be. This unpredictability is itself part of the warning: the wise do not gamble with such danger.

Memory phrase: Rebellion brings sudden ruin.

Talk about it: Why is it risky to hang around people who do not respect God or leaders?

Prayer: God, keep me from rebellion. I want to walk in Your safe way.
