Proverbs 9:17
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
Hebrew word study
סֵתֶר
secret places
çêther
The hidden place. Not a bunker you build — a place you abide. The Hebrew carries the sense of being covered, concealed, sheltered under something larger than yourself. To dwell in the secret place of the Most High is to live inside His protection, not just visit it.
