Proverbs 16:30-17:2 –
Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil. Gray hair is a crown
of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness. Better
a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who
takes a city. The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord. Better a dry crust with
peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.
A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son and will share the
inheritance as one of the family.
Proverbs
3:1-2 – My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your
life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
Proverbs 16:4 – The Lord works out everything to its proper end—even the wicked
for a day of disaster.
Proverbs 19:26 – Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother is
a child who brings shame and disgrace.
Application:
- · Normally the righteous are prosperous and happy, but sometimes it is the wicked who are strong and prosperous, temporary though that may be.
- · God is sovereign in every life and in all of history.
- · Children were expected to take care of their parents when they were sick or elderly. Robbing them and attacking or calling down curses on them were serious crimes.
