2. 2
Proverbs 11:5-6 The righteousness of the perfect (entire;
sincerely sound) 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.
God doesn’t have to literally punish the wicked;
their own deeds punish them day by day.

3. 3
Righteous living is its own reward.
A stable life instead of a
life like a roller coaster.

4. 4
But wickedness brings nothing
but pain and sorrow.
Lost family
Lost health

5. 5
7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall
perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the
wicked cometh in his stead.
No matter what this life holds, death
is the great separator.

6. 6
9 An hypocrite with his
mouth destroyeth his
neighbor: but through
knowledge shall the just
be delivered.
A truly godly person never wants to hurt another.
Love is kind and patient.
Love builds up; does not tear down.

7. 7
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city
rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is
shouting. 11 By the blessing of the upright the city
is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the
wicked.
When the righteous are blessed and
doing well, they share the wealth.
Everyone is happy.

8. 8
But all the wicked spread is pain and suffering.
The people rejoice when they die.

9. 9
12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor:
but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
Only a fool tries to stir up trouble in
his own neighborhood.
It is wisdom to get along with our
neighbors as best we can.

10. 10
13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a
faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
We must keep confidences to
help people.
One who can’t be trusted will not be confided in.

11. 11
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the
multitude of counselors there is safety.
This is true whether talking about an
individual, a church, a state, or a nation.
Wise counselors are a necessity.
Good leadership will listen to the ideas of others.
