Fools Vent
10
The bloodthirsty hate blameless people,
but the upright seek to help them.
11
Fools vent their anger,
but the wise quietly hold it back.
12
If a ruler pays attention to liars,
all his advisers will be wicked.
The first proverb teaches that truly evil people seek to destroy those who are honest and upright.
Verse 11 challenges the modern idea that venting anger is helpful or healing. Instead, venting anger can lead to destructive outcomes, like road rage or even violent acts.
Verse 12 reminds us not to be surprised by the corruption in our leaders, especially in times filled with misinformation and fake news.
Think about this: We need to pray for truth to prevail in our country so that the divisions and constant partisan bickering can be healed.
