Pro. 17 NKJV

Proverbs 17: 13 Whoever rewards evil for good,
Evil will not depart from his house.

I think about our court system, government and even our churches when I read this proverb. Perhaps the reason we can’t seem to do any better is because we have rewarded evil with good.

Isaiah prophesied, ” Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isa. 5:20

This proverb says that the evil we do such as this will never leave our households, government, churches, etc.
