Wise ancient words

Reading Solomon this morning and was struck by three consecutive verses that describe today perfectly:
By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down
-Biden...Trudeau...
Those who flatter their neighbors are spreading nets for their feet.
Black history month, 24/7 pandering, constant messages of female empowerment...what is the fruit of this? Seems to be a lot of anger, resentment, unhappiness
Evildoers are snared by their own sin, but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.
A whole lot of people seem to be receiving their comeuppance nowadays. It now seems countless the people who pushed the cancel culture...that got cancelled themselves

At some point the seemingly simplistic wisdom found in Biblical Words just becomes too rationally applicable to be denied as coming from 'Above'. Not to mention the poetic and artistic merit therein. Both beautiful, concise and powerful. Truly a "two-edged sword", with the power to either liberate, or damn. Indeed worthy of worship.

Great post and very appropriate.
Love Solomon, Kings, Proverbs... there is so much wisdom to be learned in these books.

When you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
The parents of these "cancel culture" cultists, failed to teach them to choose their sword and their battles wisely.

Not exactly ancient, but over 100 years old and still powerfully true:
To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and lawless. - Lysander Spooner

People who don't matter get the comeuppance. Until we fundamentally change culture the people who matter will keep creating new foot soldiers. They are just fodder, sheep for slaughter.
Nothing will change until you revolt against the education system at the very least.

This you are wrong about. It may not always be public, but these people always get theirs in the end.
You are right about what you are saying, id just say that wasnt the point of this particular proverb
