“As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.”
Proverbs 26:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 26:2
An undeserved curse 'shall not come'—like a wandering bird or flying swallow, it won't land on its target. The Hebrew 'qalal' (curse) and 'lo tabo' (shall not come/will not arrive) teach that mere words cannot harm the innocent. This encourages the righteous not to fear baseless accusations or curses. Reformed theology affirms God's sovereignty over all words. Numbers 23:8 asks, 'How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed?' If God protects, human curses are powerless. This truth should give courage to the falsely accused.
