Inescapable Sin
A man who works evil against another works it really against himself, and bad advice is worst for the one who devised it. (Hesiod, ancient Greek poet)
This statement was not the result of modern psychological study; it was written centuries before Christ. Yet, today there are some who work for the harm of others—even nations. Sometimes, events work out so those perpetrators of evil suffer the consequences of their deeds and learn this important lesson. Others never do. Let’s be sure to seek good for others, not evil.
Those who make evil plans will be ruined, but those who plan to do good will be loved and trusted (Proverbs 14:22).
