“A wise man fears and departs from evil, but the fool throws off restraint and is careless.” Proverbs 14:16
One who is made wise through hearing God’s Word sees that his evil ways lead to death and turns from them. The foolish rage against the truth and are confident in their evil ways, even though they lead to eternal death and damnation.
Grant me the wisdom, O Lord, to hear Your Word and turn from my evil ways to You for mercy in Christ Jesus. In His name, I pray. Amen.
