Common Sense Commentary: The above two verses are taken from the "wisest man in the Old Testament", King Solomon. Prov.22:7...... And the wisest man (except Jesus) in the New Testament, the Apostle Paul. Rom.13:8. (my judgement).
Since World War II our government and citizens, as well, have been on an extremely unwise spending benge.

The Prophet Isaiah, inspired of God, prophesied, "Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
And it shall be ... as with the lender, so with the borrower... The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word." Isa.24:1-3 So be it! RB
Pass it on. RB
