Thematic Bible: Who falls into mischief


Thematic Bible



A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
but a trustworthy courier brings healing.


Though a righteous man falls seven times,
he will get up,
but the wicked will stumble into ruin.

You were secure in your wickedness; you said: No one sees me. Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray. You said to yourself: I, and no one else. But disaster will happen to you; you will not know how to avert it. And it will fall on you, but you will be unable to ward it off. Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly.

The one who searches for what is good finds favor,
but if someone looks for trouble, it will come to him.

One with a twisted mind will not succeed,
and one with deceitful speech will fall into ruin.
