Proverbs 30:14
14There is a generation whose teeth are like swords,
And whose fangs are like knives,
To devour the poor from off the earth,
And the needy from among men.
-Proverbs 30:14
Among the worst of sins of these generations is the preying upon the weak. Indeed there are such generations. Some generations will look to make others weak that they may prey on them, like a viper that poisons its catch that it may devour it. They are vicious and aggressive. This mindset is far from the heart of the Father that seeks to free those who are oppressed. He cares for the orphan and the widow. He heals the broken hearted. He restores and makes right those who had nothing. This generation looks to take advantage of such peoples. Let us drawn near to the Father that we would learn His heart and walk in righteousness with Him. Let us share in His longing to see the weak brought to strength.
