Proverbs 10:31-32
The mouths of those who do right produce wisdom.
But tongues that speak twisted words will be made silent.
Those who do right know the proper thing to say.
But those who do wrong speak only twisted words.
Proverbs 11:1-8
The Lord hates it when people use scales to cheat others.
But he is delighted when people use honest weights.
When pride comes, shame follows.
But wisdom comes to those who are not proud.
Those who do what is right are guided by their honest lives.
But those who aren’t faithful are destroyed by their lies.
Wealth isn’t worth anything when God judges you.
But doing what is right saves you from death.
The ways of honest people are made straight because they do what is right.
But those who do what is wrong are brought down by their own sins.
Godly people are saved by doing what is right.
But those who aren’t faithful are trapped by evil longings.
Hopes placed in human beings will die with them.
Everything their power promised comes to nothing.
Those who do right are saved from trouble.
But trouble comes on those who do wrong.
