Proverbs 28:22

Proverbs 28:22

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

An 'evil eye' in biblical culture means a greedy, covetous gaze — always looking for more, always calculating advantage. The person with this eye is so focused on getting rich quickly that they cannot see what is actually coming: poverty. Greed blinds. It makes the person ignore all the signs that their approach is self-destructive.

Memory phrase: Greed blinds you to danger.

Talk about it: How can wanting money too much make you end up with less?

Prayer: God, keep me from greed and help me see clearly.
