Proverbs 25:19
“Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth, or a lame foot.”
What does Proverbs 25:19 mean?
When you're going through something hard, you need people you can actually count on. Relying on someone who has shown they can't be trusted is like trying to chew with a broken tooth or walk on an injured foot, it just doesn't work and makes things worse. Both leave you in pain and stuck when you most need to move forward. The wisdom here isn't about being suspicious of everyone, but about learning from experience, recognizing patterns, and building your support network around people who have actually shown up for you.
