If a witness lies, then the judge might make the wrong decision. Because of this, the law will be unfair. A guilty man might go free. An innocent man might suffer punishment. Lies are always evil, but especially in court.The second line is like Proverbs 4:17. This line means that the evil man loves his evil behavior. An evil man always wants to do more evil things.This proverb highlights how important truthfulness is to God. Mockers are considered fools, and only a fool would distort justice. It's unwise to mock the Scriptures.Verse 29The man who lies, in verse 28, insults the law itself. He deserves his punishment.Fools hate wisdom, and love to do evil things. Like the man that lies, fools also deserve severe punishments.The punishments are ready. Sometimes evil people avoid punishment in this world. But they cannot escape from God. So they must change their lives before it is too late. They must ask God to forgive them. They must do this without delay - because the punishments are ready. This verse reinforces that scoffers and fools are the same. Punishments are not for those who simply struggle with understanding. Instead, they are for those who reject and mock God's plans.Think about this: The proverbs make it clear: Those who mock or scoff at God's laws will face consequences. It's foolish to disregard the Creator of the Universe.If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth. Real moments.
