Exposures

(Pro 21:4 KJV) An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

I asked it three years ago.  I ask it again.  Is it “plough” (KJV) or “lamp” (NASB)?  Let me give you a similar problem in English.  If I say, “Can it”, what do I mean?  Do I mean “stop complaining and get to work”?  Do I mean preserving vegetables for winter?  Am I asking a question?  You only know from context and voice inflection.  We have the same issue here.

So what is the point?  Both of the words are telling us that certain actions reflect a certain attitude and the result is sin.  The actions expose the heart.  You can do it by lighting a lamp or you can turn over the ground to see what is underneath.  

So?  God knows you heart.  He knows the heart of your neighbor.  Sometimes all we have to go on is paying attention to how people live.  They rely on that when they look at us.  Live upright and righteous.  Reflect well on your Savior.
