Bible Comments

A wicked messenger, who is unfaithful in the execution of that which is committed to his charge, as appears by the opposite clause, falleth into mischief; shall not escape punishment from God, or from them who sent him. Is health; or, wholesome; procureth safety and benefit, as to his master, so also to himself.

Proverbs 13:17
