Prudent People

Proverbs 22 & 23

“A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.” Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ When God reveals danger, take it to heart and protect yourself from collateral damage due to not listening or taking the warning seriously.

“Those who plant injustice will harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come to an end.” Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬ God doesn’t allow terror to last forever. That’s the promise I hold to every day when the devil tries to tell me life is doomed.

“The Lord preserves those with knowledge, but He ruins the plans of the treacherous.” Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬

“Don’t rob the poor just because you can, or exploit the needy in court. For the Lord is their defender. He will ruin anyone who ruins them.” Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NLT‬‬
