theDailyBibleVerse.org : Many Editions > Same Daily Verse



He is the Rock, his works are perfect,
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong,
upright and just is he. (NIV)

He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. (KJV)

The Rock! His work is perfect,

For all His ways are just;
A God of faithfulness and without injustice,
Righteous and upright is He. (NASB)

Deuteronomy 32:4

Commentary
32:4 the Rock. This word, representing the stability and permanence of God, was placed at the beginning of the verse for emphasis and was followed by a series of phrases which elaborated the attributes of God as the Rock of Israel. It is one of the principle themes in this song (see vv. 15, 18, 30, 31), stressing the unchanging nature of God in contrast with the fickle nature of the people.

The Wise and Foolish Builders

46"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 47I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. 48He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."

Luke 6:46-49 (NIV)

Daily Bible Verse - 7/21/2007 - Proverbs 29:4


theDailyBibleVerse.org : Many Editions > Same Daily Verse

By justice a king gives a country stability,
but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down. (NIV)

The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. (KJV)

The king gives stability to the land by justice,
But a man who takes bribes overthrows it. (NASB)

Proverbs 29:4

Commentary
By acting with justice, a king brings his country to a position of strength. The one who accepts bribes to pervert justice is undermining the stability of the government.

Bribery

Bribery erodes the very foundation of the law and of the land (Prov. 29:4) and must be hated as an enemy (Prov. 15:27). It perverts justice (Prov. 17:23), provides offices for dishonest people (Prov. 18:16), purchases favors (Prov. 19:6), and pacifies people without solving problems (Prov. 21:14). The person whose integrity is for sale is not fit to govern.
