King James Version (KJV)
Proverbs 12:21 Context
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. 21There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. 22Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. 23A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. 24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

4 years AgoTimothy Wayne George for verse 21There shall no evil control the just. A righteous man may fall seven times , but he always gets up. Evil will slay the wicked because he does not walk by the light of this world. Jesus said there are 12 hours to the day so walk by the light of the day and you will not stumble.Flag
