Pro 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
If you are wise you will fear and depart from evil (sin). You won’t think that you
can handle it, you won’t try to reason within yourself that it’s ok. The only way to
deal with it is to depart from it. Pro 16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. The second part of Pro. 14:16 tells you what you are if you don’t. A FOOL!
