Knowledge is power

Proverbs 11

"With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor,
but through knowledge the righteous escape."


We are all effected by the evil one's deceit and terror, but only those who understands God's knowledge will be able to escape.

"The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
but the hope of the wicked only in wrath."

"If the righteous receive their due on earth,
how much more the ungodly and the sinner!"

"One man gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

People curse the man who hoards grain,
but blessing crowns him who is willing to sell. "
