Proverbs 14:16

Proverbs 14:16

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

The fear of the LORD produces caution — not cowardice, but the wisdom to step back from evil. The fool is marked by reckless confidence: rage and self-assurance that lead straight into harm. True wisdom knows what to avoid.

Memory phrase: Wisdom turns from evil.

Talk about it: What is the difference between being brave and being reckless?

Prayer: God, help me turn away from evil choices.
