Proverbs 6 - The Wicked Man

3 .. The wicked Man


   Whilst these 2 sections are really one, I’m going to split them to make easier while we look at them. So then V12/15 are not within a tail from another book, but God might as well stood there and smacked us around the face with a wet fish, such as the language used. Asking ‘ are we such a person?’ If so time has come to wake up and smell the coffee. Most people will know someone like this, where each other word is a swear word.

   A parental action would be to tell you to avoid them, less you start to become one. I know someone of this ilk, at first I turned a deaf ear, till I asked them to use less swearing and behaving better ..
 V14 “..Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord..”
 .. where it was impacting on my life and how I treated my wife. If you found you have Cancer, you would not keep hold and promise to never remove it, no you have it removed asap.

V16/19 "..These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.."
Psalm 101 v5 “..Whoever secretly slanders his neighbour, Him I will destroy; The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, Him I will not endure..”

I think this could be our daily prayer..
Psalm 120 v2 “..Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips And from a deceitful tongue..”
… these things surly must be an abomination to us all, let alone God.
Proverbs 16 v18 “..Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall..”

   No matter how you dress up a pig, at the end of the day it is still a pig. When it’s wrong it’s wrong. Honesty here please, in my time on Gods green Earth I have met what I call pro-liers. This not meant in any way as a compliment.

V19  “..A false witness..”
Psalm 27 v12 “..Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me..”

It’s time to train that small muscle, your tongue lest you bare false witness. V15 “..Suddenly he/you shall be broken without remedy..”
