Proverbs 30:6
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”
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.
