Proverbs 29:27

Proverbs 29:27

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

The chapter closes with a statement of moral and spiritual incompatibility. The just and the unjust are not simply different — they are, to each other, an abomination. Righteousness and wickedness are not two points on a spectrum; they are opposing forces. This does not mean the righteous should be cruel to sinners, but it does mean that there is no neutral ground between the way of the LORD and the way of the wicked.

Memory phrase: Good and evil oppose each other.

Talk about it: Why can good and evil not truly be friends?

Prayer: God, help me always choose the side of what is right.
