Proverbs 11:4

[Chrishaune]

Proverbs 14:12

There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but it's end is the way of death.

 

[Tair]

The context of these passages is that if the Israelites didn't follow the Lord, they would be in a bad situation. In the past, famines forced people to eat human flesh, and invading soldiers killed children as well.
The Lord is just telling it like it is.

Ignoring context is an atheist's favorite pastime.

In the Bible, a cannibalistic God makes people eat human flesh.

There are nine passages in the Old Testament where God makes cannibalistic threats. Here is the worst one:

"And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." (Leviticus 26:27–29 King James Version)



God destroys the fetuses of those who do not worship him.

This is not the only feticidal passage in the bible, but it is the worst:

"You shall acknowledge no God but me. . . . You are destroyed, Israel. . . . The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open." (Hosea 13:4, 9, 16 New International Version)

They made a covenant with him and also he simply meant they would be starving so bad, they would resort to eating anything. What is your point?

 

[Chrishaune]

Proverbs 15:13

A heart full of joy and goodness makes a cheerful face,
But when a heart is full of sadness the spirit is crushed.
