How to detect the wicked

Proverbs 19:28

A corrupt witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.

Two prepared things

Proverbs 19:29

Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.

Three great facts

Proverbs 20:1

Wine  is a mocker  and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray  by them is not wise.

Two things to fear

Proverbs 20:2

A king’s wrath strikes terror like the roar of a lion; those who anger him forfeit their lives.

True honor and dishor

Proverbs 20:3

It is to one’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool  is quick to quarrel.

Why some men beg

Proverbs 20:4

Sluggards  do not plow in season;so at harvest time they look but find nothing.

Romans 12:9

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. —

Our love cannot be feigned, faked, or fickle! That means that we abhor things that are evil. We not only stay away from them, but we disdain them. At the same time, we commit ourselves to lovingly drawing closer to goodness and righteousness. In our intentions, there are no shades of gray, only a passionate desire for what is right, good, and holy.
