ABOUT GOOD VERSUS EVIL (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. What does the Book of Proverbs say about Good versus Evil?

a) 10 You will become wise, and your knowledge will give you pleasure. 11 Your insight and understanding will protect you 12 and prevent you from doing the wrong thing. They will keep you away from people who stir up trouble by what they say - 13 those who have abandoned a righteous life to live in the darkness of sin, 14 those who find pleasure in doing wrong and who enjoy senseless evil. (Proverbs 2:10-14)

b) 31 Don’t be jealous of violent people or decide to act as they do, 32 because the Lord hates people who do evil . . . 33 The Lord puts a curse on the homes of the wicked, but blesses the homes of the righteous. (Proverbs 3:31-33)

c) 14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evil. 15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on. 16 For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; and their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. ( Proverbs 4:14-16)

d) 22 His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, and he is caught in the cords of his sin. (Proverbs 5:22)

e) 3 The Lord will not let good people go hungry, but he will keep the wicked from getting what they want. 6 Good people will receive blessings. The words of the wicked hide a violent nature. (Proverbs 10:3, 6)

f) 29 The way of the LORD is strength for the upright, but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity. 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse. (Proverbs 10:29, 32)

g) 19 Anyone who is determined to do right will live, but anyone who insists on doing wrong will die. (Proverbs 11:19)

h) 23 What good people want always results in good; when the wicked get what they want, everyone is angry. (Proverbs 11:23)

i) 12 The wicked covet the catch of evil men, but the root of the righteous yields fruit. 13 The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous will come through trouble. (Proverbs 12:12-13)

j) 21 No grave trouble will overtake the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil. (Proverbs 12:21)
