Scripture: Proverbs 22:28 (NASB 1977)
"Do not move the ancient boundary Which your fathers have set."
Commentary:
Proverbs warns against shifting boundaries, and the Strait of Hormuz dispute is fundamentally about control—who sets the rules in a shared passage. Shipping lanes look like lines on a map, but sailors and crews feel the risk first when mines or harassment enter the water.

Strategic waterways are becoming leverage points, and global governance mechanisms are increasingly tested by rival blocs and veto power.
