Welcome to Proverbs chapter 11 on Build Your Bible Habit.

Chapter 11 could be summed up in one word, integrity.

According to Webster's dictionary, integrity includes moral soundness or purity,

incorruptness, uprightness, and honesty.

You'll also notice stark contrasts between those who walk with God and those

who don't. Let's get into this chapter. Proverbs chapter 11. A false balance is abomination to the Lord,

but a just weight is his delight. When pride cometh, then cometh shame, but with the lowly

is wisdom. The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of transgressors

shall destroy them. Riches profit not in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivereth from

death. The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his wrath, but righteousness delivereth from death.

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of unjust men perisheth. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

And hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor, but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth, but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth, and when the wicked perish,

there is shouting.

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor, but a man of

understanding holdeth his peace. A talebearer revealseth secrets, but he that is of a faithful

spirit concealeth the matter. Where no counsel is, the people fall, but in the multitude of

counselors, there is safety.
