Scripture: Proverbs 17:16 (NASB 1977)
"Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
When he has no sense?"
Commentary:
Proverbs nails a hard reality: money cannot purchase wisdom when leaders act without restraint. One strike on a major refinery can light up the night sky, shut down operations, and make everyday fuel costs jump fast. People doing normal work feel it first at the pump. These shocks fit the biblical pattern of rising instability and pressure points around strategic gateways and resources. Bahrain’s Sitra complex shows how quickly regional decisions spill into global markets, demanding sober discernment, not bravado.
Prophetic Trend:
Targeted attacks on core energy infrastructure are amplifying regional instability and transmitting it into global prices, tightening economic pressure without warning.
