Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:24

False validation of wickedness — telling the wicked their ways are acceptable — is a profound moral failure. It brings widespread condemnation. People recognise this as an injustice even when they cannot articulate why: calling evil good is fundamentally wrong.

Memory phrase: Never call wrong things right.

Talk about it: Why is it wrong to tell someone their bad behaviour is okay?

Prayer: God, help me never call wrong things right. Give me courage to be honest.
