The Bible Condemns Animal Cruelty
Proverbs 12:10 firmly condemns animal cruelty by associating it with human wickedness. In contrast, virtuous humans care for and are kind to animals. Here are three different translations:
Proverbs 12:10 NLT: The godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel.
Proverbs 12:10 GNT: Good people take care of their animals, but wicked people are cruel to theirs.
Proverbs 12:10 CEV: Good people are kind to their animals, but a mean person is cruel.
Therefore, the Bible condemns animal cruelty.
