Wicked Schemes 12:2

Wicked Schemes
Proverbs 12:2

Good people obtain favor from the Lord,
but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes.

PCdc Commentary

There is so much said today about Conspiracy Theories.
Some of them are actually true.
But, take heart, these plotters are condemned.

Pride vs Humility
Proverbs 11:2

When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.

PCdc Commentary

Pride results in disgrace,
Humility results in wisdom.

They say you are more successful
when you give the credit to others.
While I have never tried it, it could be true.

Ill-Gotten Booty
Or Is It Ill-Booten Gotty?
Proverbs 10:2

Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
but righteousness delivers from death.

PCdc Commentary

Stolen bounty can result in short term gain.
But righteousness is eternal.

Inviting Insults And Abuse
Proverbs 9:7

Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.

PCdc Commentary

You can see it in the daily news.
When the ungodly are challenged,
instead of addressing the issue,
they insult and abuse the challenger.

Typical of the Pod People.

Wisdom Dwells With Prudence
Proverbs 8:12

I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.

PCdc Commentary

Although laconic, verse 12 is rich with meaning.
Wisdom is paired with Prudence.
Both Knowledge and Discretion are attributed to Wisdom.
