Violence does not = Solution

If the Bible was still used as a text for moral and ethical behavior in the public school system, the children of the last 4 generations would have heard this:  “The violence of the wicked will drag them away, because they refuse to act with justice. (Proverbs 21:7)”
To get a better understanding of this statement we need to see what was said right before so this is not taken out of context:
              Proverbs 21:2-6
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts. To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. A haughty look, a proud heart, And the plowing of the wicked are sin. The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty.
But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty. Getting treasures by a lying tongue is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.
​ 
Which is the better way; seek justice through God or to take matters into your own hands which could lead to the need for violence? See that second sentence? “To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” To follow His ways of Mercy and letting God be the ultimate judge is better than sacrificing your own part of the Spirit. Looking at verse four, Solomon goes deeper still and surprisingly enough is describing some of what we have seen in these last few years. Well of course we can go back to verse 2 on that because people in our own country have sought out and found their own material idols through lusts of the flesh, greed, and jealousy, all of which are covetous behaviors. Sinful people have looked upon the faithful with haughtiness and the pride in their hearts has removed God’s mark while replacing it with the mark of sin. Those that lie to receive their desires will meet death and never know the truth of the light.
This was taught to keep people from doing things as we are today. Thankfully not all of us have fallen so deep that we cannot escape and even better are those who put their full faith and trust in the Lord Our God. It is by understanding His Truth, His Sacrifice, His Glory, Honor, and accepting His Mercy by believing in Christ that we can say that we are saved. How bad it will be for those who put their faith elsewhere. How bad it will be for those who only see the outward flesh and not the truth of the blood. How sorrowful they will be who put their faith in something that condemns their eternal soul. Human violence solves nothing. Human kindness backed by God solves everything.
