PROVERBS

Humility

Pastor Scott Brenner Proverbs 11:16-23
16 A gracious woman retains honor,
But ruthless men retain riches
17 The merciful man does good for his own soul,
But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh
18 The wicked man does deceptive work,
But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward
19 As righteousness leads to life,
So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death
20 Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord,
But the blameless in their ways are His delight
21 Though they join forces,[b] the wicked will not go unpunished;
But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered
22 As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion
23 The desire of the righteous is only good,
But the expectation of the wicked is wrath
