Make it Good!

If you do something negligent and it effects someone else then you should “make it good.” If you borrow something and harm it while you have it then you should “make it good.” And if you give your word, then surely you should “make it good.” It will always cost you something to do what you should and “make it good” but never more than the value of your integrity.

Ex 21:33-34
33 "And if a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls in it, 34 the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money to their owner, but the dead animal shall be his.
NKJV

Ex 22:14-15
14 "And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it becomes injured or dies, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make it good. 15 If its owner was with it, he shall not make it good; if it was hired, it came for its hire.
NKJV

Num 23:19
19 "God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
NKJV
