The Randomness of Proverbs

The children either through immaturity or rebellion, just go their own way, they stray. In some cases they come back, other times they don't. Again there's a certain randomness to that and you look at this verse as though it's supposed to have some guaranteed outcome. So I hope this short foray into the nature of Proverbs is in some way helpful. Heizer: "We do the Bible in injustice when we fail to take it for what it is"
