Proverbs 18:3

Proverbs 18:3

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

Wickedness carries contempt and disgrace as its companions — they travel together. The Hebrew suggests that where sinful behaviour goes, shame follows inevitably. This is not simply social shame but the moral weight that attaches to wrongdoing. God has so ordered the world that sin and dishonour are linked.

Memory phrase: Wrong choices bring shame.

Talk about it: Why does doing wrong make us feel ashamed inside?

Prayer: God, help me choose right so shame does not follow me.
