Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:8

Planning evil is not just a private matter — it shapes your reputation and your identity. The person who schemes harm becomes known as a troublemaker. What we plan in our hearts defines us publicly.

Memory phrase: Evil plans become your name.

Talk about it: What does it say about a person who plans to hurt others?

Prayer: God, keep me from planning any wrong. Let my plans be good.
