Proverbs 10:20
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.”
צַדִּיק
The blessed man is not the one who has never fallen — it is the one who knows where not to stand, not to walk, not to sit. Righteousness in the Psalms is relational — it is being in right standing with God, walking in step with Him, rooted in His word like a tree by water.
