Wicked Rise/Perish

“Wicked Rise/Perish”
Blessings folk!
We have encountered this Proverbial idea earlier.
Give heed!
Pro 28:28
When the wicked rise, people hide themselves,
but when they perish, the righteous increase.
ESV
When the wicked rise…
When the wicked are in control…
When the wicked lead…
People hide themselves.
They “lay low”.
They self-restrict their lives.
They live in fear.
They live in doubt.
They live bound.
When the wicked perish…
Then the righteous increase.
Freedom abounds.
Pro 28:28
When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding.
When the wicked meet disaster, the godly flourish.
NLT
Refuse the way of wickedness.
Call out wickedness.
Do not submit to it.
May wickedness perish.
Be righteous!
Flourish!
