Proverbs 12:17

Proverbs 12:17

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

The courtroom image extends to all of life: how we report on what we have seen, what we say about others, whether we can be trusted as a source of truth. The honest witness delivers reality; the false witness delivers deception that harms the innocent.

Memory phrase: Tell the truth always.

Talk about it: Why is it so important to tell the truth about what you saw?

Prayer: God, help me always be an honest witness.
