Extinguish govern my curse It is often said that our own thoughts and attitudes have a significant impact on our daily lives. A negative mindset or a curse placed upon oneself can create a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure and discontent. In order to break free from this cycle, it is crucial to extinguish the power that these negative thoughts hold over our lives. The first step towards extinguishing the grip of negativity is to acknowledge its presence. Understanding that we may be allowing ourselves to be governed by a curse, whether self-imposed or influenced by external factors, is the initial step towards liberation. By accepting that our mindset plays a vital role in our overall well-being, we can begin to take control of our thoughts and emotions.

Jump to Previous Jump to Next Proverbs 20 (20) His lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. --See above, on Proverbs 13:9.Verse 20. - This is an enforcement of the fifth commandment, by denouncing the punishment which the moral government of God shall exact from the unnatural child. The legal penalty may be seen (Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9); but this was probably seldom or never carried into execution (comp. Matthew 15:4; Mark 7:10). His lamp shall be put out in obscure ( the blackest ) darkness (comp. Proverbs 13:9). The expression is peculiar; it is literally, according to the Khetib, In the apple of the eye of darkness , as in Proverbs 7:9; i.e. in the very centre of darkness; he will find himself surrounded on all sides by midnight darkness, without escape, with no hope of Divine protection. "Lamp" is a metaphor applied to the bodily and the spiritual life, to happiness and prosperity, to a man's fame and reputation, to a man's posterity; and all these senses may be involved in the denunciation of the disobedient and stubborn child. He shall suffer in body and soul, in character, in fortune, in his children. His fate is the exact counterpart of the blessing promised in the Law. Septuagint, "The lamp of him that revileth father and mother shall be extinguished, and the pupils of his eyes shall behold darkness." Talmud, "Whosoever abandons his parents means his body to become the prey of scorpions." Cato, 'Dist.,' 3:23 -
"Dilige non aegra caros pietate parentes;
Nec matrem offendas, dum vis bonus esse parenti." One of the evil generations denounced by Agur (Proverbs 30:11) is that which curseth parents.
