Wicked Sin

16 

When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes,
     but the godly will live to see their downfall.

17 

Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind
     and will make your heart glad.

18 

When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.
     But whoever obeys the law is joyful.

The first proverb reminds us that while it may seem like evil wins at times, righteousness will ultimately prevail in the end.

Verse 17 teaches that children appreciate parents who care enough to correct them. When parents guide and discipline their children, it shows love and concern for their well-being.

Verse 18 highlights that God's laws are meant to be a blessing. In the Old Testament, judges rose up when the people forgot God’s commandments, and evil spread. When people lose sight of God's guidance, they start doing whatever seems right to them, leading to chaos.

Think about this: Do you usually act based on what seems right in your own eyes, or do you check your sense of righteousness against God’s Scriptures?
