Proverbs 1:23
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.”
דָּבָר
In Hebrew, dabar is not just a word spoken — it is a word that accomplishes something. God's dabar does not return empty. The psalmist says this word is a lamp to his feet — not a floodlight revealing everything ahead, but enough light for the next step. That is faith.
