A @Christadelphians Video: The phrase "where there is no vision, the people perish" is a proverb from the Bible, found in Proverbs 29:18. The word "vision" in this context can be understood in a few different ways. It can refer to a literal vision, such as a dream or a prophecy. It can also refer to a more general sense of purpose or direction. In either case, the proverb is saying that without a clear vision for the future, people are likely to wander aimlessly and eventually come to harm.
