Proverbs 20
I’d love to hear what moved you in today’s reading.
Verse 28 (“Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure”) caught the eye of this political scientist. Perhaps this explains the decline in monarchical government. Unfortunately, “love and faithfulness” do not appear to be the two most important criteria for executive recruitment.
Possible tension between verse 28 and 30 might also be explored.
