Proverbs 16:27

Proverbs 16:27

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

The ungodly person does not merely stumble into wrongdoing — they dig for it, actively seeking evil to bring up and spread. Their speech is the weapon: burning, destructive, consuming. This is a portrait of someone whose whole energy is directed toward harm.

Memory phrase: Wicked words burn others.

Talk about it: How can words burn and destroy like a fire?

Prayer: God, keep my words from burning others.
