CREDIBLE AUTHORITY

The Proverbs of King Solomon 26:2-5:

“God delights in concealing things;
    scientists delight in discovering things.
Like the horizons for breadth and the ocean for depth,
    the understanding of a good leader is broad and deep.
Remove impurities from the silver
    and the silversmith can craft a fine chalice;
Remove the wicked from leadership
    and authority will be credible and God-honoring.”

(The Message Translation, Eugene Peterson)

“They are blind guides leading the blind, and both will fall into a ditch.” Jesus
