Proverbs 4:17 is found in the source "Excerpts from 'https://pereiraclassics.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/The-Book-of-Proverbs.pdf'": "For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence". This verse is part of a larger passage (Proverbs 4:1-27) where a father instructs his children to seek wisdom and avoid the path of the wicked. The preceding verses describe the actions of the wicked, noting that they cannot sleep unless they have done mischief. Their very sustenance, symbolized by bread and wine, is derived from immoral and harmful actions.
Considering the news items for April 17, 2025, the guidance from Proverbs 4:17 encourages reflection on the ethical underpinnings of the reported events. The ruling against Google for illegally monopolizing online advertising tech suggests a correction against potentially "wicked" business practices that could inflict "violence" on the competitive landscape. Similarly, the various security alerts highlight the prevalence of actions that could be categorized as feeding on "wickedness" and resulting in harm ("violence") to individuals and organizations through data breaches and cyberattacks. The verse serves as a reminder to discern and avoid participation in or benefit from actions and systems that are rooted in unethical or harmful behavior.
