Bible verses for children
What is hidden still matters.
Proverbs 15:3
Yahweh’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
Proverbs 15:3 · World English Bible Classic (WEB)
In simple words
What does this verse mean?
The eyes of God picture awareness beyond what people notice. Good actions matter even without an audience, and hidden harm is not made right by staying hidden. The verse encourages integrity rather than performing goodness only for praise.
Return a lost item even if nobody saw you find it. You can choose what is right without waiting for someone to watch.
