The Classic Battle

Proverbs 10

From the beginnings of mankind the classic battle waged inside the hearts and minds of men has been the battle between good and evil. Proverbs 10 lays out many of the natural consequences of that battle via comparisons and their logical out-workings so we get paired...

A wise child brings joy to a father; a foolish child brings grief to a mother.

These verses are not meant to predict the exact consequences of a particular action, but rather to provide a backdrop to showcase the nature of the differences between good and evil. Only an unbeliever would choose evil.
