Plots Evil

Proverbs 6:9-14 – How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. A troublemaker and a villain, who goes about with a corrupt mouth, who winks maliciously with his eye, signals with his feet and motions with his fingers, who plots evil with deceit in his heart—he always stirs up conflict.

Psalm 35:19 – Do not let those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; do not let those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye.

Micah 2:1 – Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it.

Proverbs 10:12 – Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.

Application:

• ·         “Winks…with his eye” to make insinuations.
• ·         The rich, oppressing classes continued to get rich at the expense of the poor because they controlled the power structures of their society.
• ·         “Love Covers Over All Wrongs” means it promotes forgiveness.
