Bible Quote Jul 4th Proverbs 14:34

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” Proverbs 14:34 NIV
===

Proverbs were almost left out of the Christian Bible because some of them oppose each other. Wisdom is like that. Wikipedia has a theory regarding Proverbs that pre exilic ones differ from post exilic ones. The underlying belief being that Greek Philosophy had influenced Jewish though so that God became part of creation after wisdom. Who writes that stuff?

This particular proverb is from the sayings of Solomon. Until the 21st century, archaeology had not proven the house of David existed. So those writing of their doubt in authorship made bold claims.
