Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb. Today is the 11th. I'm Brian Harden from daily audiobibbibble.com.

And I'm pleased to have the honor of spending five minutes together with you around the ultimate book of wisdom, the book of proverbs.

Spending some time pouring unfiltered wisdom into our hearts today.

It's the 11th. So we'll read the 11th chapter of the book of Proverbs today from the Good News Translation.

The Lord hates people who use dishonest scales.

He is happy with honest weights.

People who are proud will soon be disgraced.

It is wiser to be modest.

If you are good, you are guided by honesty.

People who can't be trusted are destroyed by their own dishonesty.

Riches will do you no good on the day you face death, but honesty can save your life.

Honesty makes a good person's life easier, but the wicked will cause their own downfall.

Righteousness rescues those who are honest, but those who can't be trusted are trapped by their own greed.

When the wicked die, their hope dies with them. Confidence placed in riches comes to nothing.

The righteous are protected from trouble.

It comes to the wicked instead.

You can be ruined by the talk of godless people,

but the wisdom of the righteous can save you.

A city is happy when honest people have good fortune, and there are joyful shouts when the wicked die.

A city becomes great when the righteous give it their blessing, but a city is brought to ruin by the words of the wicked.

It is foolish to speak scornfully of others. If you are smart, you will keep quiet. No one who gossips can be trusted with a secret, but you can put confidence in someone

who is trustworthy. A nation will fall if it has no guidance. Many advisors mean security.
