Proverbs 10:20-21 The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver, the heart of the wicked is worth little. The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of understanding
Key word:
- H3820 - understanding: wisdom, lack of sense
- H6662 - just, lawful, right, correct, blameless, innocent
What does it say?
What does it mean? The meaning is very clear. Righteous/just behavior can help many. A wicked heart has little value. Foolish behavior would appear to be a self-inflicted punishment?
Personal application: Many die because of ignorance. You can help yourself and others with your knowledge. Not all will listen. Some are just plain stupid/deceived or in denial. Yet you are called to share truth with others. Stay in the Word and keep praying. If you lack wisdom, God's word will provide it. Blessings on your day. 😇
