Proverbs 29:8-10 – Mockers stir up a city, but the
wise turn away anger. If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace. The
bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity and seek to kill the upright.
James
3:18 – Peacemakers who
sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
Proverbs 1:11-16 – If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless
soul; let’s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who
go down to the pit; we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder; cast lots with us; we
will all share the loot”—my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot on their
paths; for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to
shed blood.
Application:
- · Discord cannot produce conduct pleasing to God.
- · The goal of sinful men is personal enrichment by theft or oppression, even if they have to commit murder.
- · The book of Proverbs teaches that wisdom brings the greatest riches people could ever gain.
