It is in the nature of the righteous to be kind. However, the wicked know not how to be kind.
"A [consistently] righteous man regards the life of his beast, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel." Proverbs 12:10, Amplified
There is not much that I am inspired to write about this verse. The only thing that I am reminded of here is the young boy with a magnifying glass over the ant hill.
One of the laws concerning animals can be found in Deuteronomy, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." (25:4, NKJV) This is to allow the ox to satisfy its hunger as it worked. To muzzle the ox was to enact cruelty upon it by denying it food.
The wicked do not know how to show kindness the way the Lord has prescribed it. It seems that the world in general has developed its own ways of showing kindness. Even these new kind gestures are cruel in the eyes of the Lord.
