Proverbs 24:1-34
2 Kings 17:13 shows God's love for his people and his desire to save them from the consequences of their disobedience. God sent prophets to Israel to warn and urge them to return to him, but the people refused to obey. Eventually, God allowed Assyria to conquer Israel, take the people captive, and replace them with foreigners. God was trying to warn them not to proceed down the path of disobedience The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. 10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. 11Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.
