The Folly of Wickedness

11Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight.H4820H3976H8441H3068H8003H68H75222When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.H2087H935H935H7036H6800H24513The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.H8538H3477H5148H5558H898H7703H77034Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.H1952H3276H3117H5678H6666H5337H41945The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.H6666H8549H3474H1870H7563H5307H75646The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.H6666H3477H5337H898H3920H19427When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of the unjust perishes.H7563H120H4194H8615H6H8431H205H68The righteous is delivered from trouble, And it comes to the wicked instead.H6662H2502H6869H7563H9359The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.H2611H6310H7843H7453H1847H6662H250210When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.H2898H6662H7151H5970H7563H6H744011By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.H1293H3477H7176H7311H2040H6310H756312He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, But a man of understanding holds his peace.H2638H3820H936H7453H376H8394H279013A talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.H1980H7400H1540H5475H539H7307H3680H169714Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.H8458H5971H5307H7230H3289H866815He who is surety for a stranger will suffer, But one who hates being surety is secure.H6148H2114H7321H7451H8130H8628H98216A gracious woman retains honor, But ruthless men retain riches.H2580H802H8551H3519H6184H8551H623917The merciful man does good for his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.H2617H376H1580H5315H394H5916H760718The wicked man does deceptive work, But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward.H7563H6213H8267H6468H2232H6666H571H793819As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.H6666H2416H7291H7451H419420Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the LORD, But the blameless in their ways are His delight.H6141H3820H8441H3068H8549H1870H752221Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.H3027H3027H7451H5352H2233H6662H442222As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion.H5141H2091H2386H639H3303H802H5493H294023The desire of the righteous is only good, But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.H8378H6662H2896H8615H7563H567824There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty.H3426H6340H3254H2820H3476H427025The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.H1293H5315H1878H7301H338426The people will curse him who withholds grain, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.H4513H1250H3816H5344H1293H7218H766627He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, But trouble will come to him who seeks evil.H7836H2896H1245H7522H1875H7451H93528He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage.H982H6239H5307H6662H6524H592929He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.H5916H1004H5157H7307H191H5650H2450H382030The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.H6529H6662H6086H2416H3947H5315H245031If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth, How much more the ungodly and the sinner.H6662H7999H776H7563H2398

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
