      TEXTS FOR SCRIPTURAL REFLECTION: Acts 12:20-23 and Proverbs 18:20-21

      • Acts 12:20-23 The Passion Translation (TPT) 20 Now, during those days, Herod was engaged in a violent dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they sent a united delegation to Caesarea to appeal to him and reconcile their differences with the king, for Herod controlled their food supply. First they enlisted the support of his trusted personal assistant, Blastus, who secured them an appointment with the king. 21 On the chosen day, Herod came before them, arrayed in his regal robes. Sitting on his elevated throne, he delivered a stirring public address to the people. 22 At its conclusion the people gave him a round of applause. The crowd shouted, “These are the words of a god, not a man!” 23 Immediately, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, an infestation of worms, because he accepted the people’s worship and didn’t give the glory to God, and he died.
      • Proverbs 18:20-21 Good News Translation (GNT) 20 You will have to live with the consequences of everything you say. 21 What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words.
