He Fell A Lot, But The Bible Called Him Righteous
He Fell A Lot, But The Bible Called Him Righteous
Can you imagine the Holy Bible calling an apparent failure, a righteous man? That surely is stretching it a bit far.
- Everyone can see the man’s got a problem.
- His behavior was so bad; folks began to count how many times he fell.
- Look at him. He can’t stop apologizing.
- It’s like the guy can’t go a day without falling down.
- Some act like they don’t want to be around him. He’s got problems
- Unbelievable! He’s fell down Seven times, and yet the Bible called him Righteous!
English Standard Version (©2001)
Prov. 24:16 for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.
KJV
Prov. 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
New International Version (©1984)
Prov. 24:16 for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity.
There’s Hope! Get Back Up!
