Proverbs 25:11
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”
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.
