A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 19 is found in chapter 17 of Proverbs. Rebellion, strife, and perversity are treated as destructive forces. The image of a bear robbed of her cubs illustrates the danger of confronting a fool committed to his folly. Intervening in someone else’s dispute can be as foolish as taking a dog by the ears. Control of the tongue and heart appears again as a mark of wisdom.
