"Where there is ignorance of God,
crime runs wild;
but what a wonderful thing
it is for a nation to know and keep His laws."
~ Proverbs 29:18 LB
**
Bible Commentary:
"This proverb is written under a monarchy.
If the king was law-abiding, the people tended to follow suit.
In a democracy, the people themselves are the leaders.
When they turn to a standard higher than themselves and keep God's moral laws,
the nation becomes strong.
When everyone does whatever seems 'right in their own eyes' (Judges 17:6),
the nation becomes weak and can no longer effectively protect its citizens.
Don't be ashamed of your high moral standards---
they are making your country a better place."
