A #VIRTUOUS woman is a #CROWN 2 her husband: But she that maketh #ASHAMED is as #ROTTENESS in his BONES (Prov. 12:4 KJV). #Unfaithfulness & #immoral actions r a #cancer in #marriage; but FAITHFUL, CHARACTER-FILLED spouses make 1 another STRONG in FAITH, ACTION, ESTEEM, & REPUTE!

A man shall not b #ESTABLISHED by wickedness: But the #ROOT of the #righteous shall NOT b MOVED (Prov. 12:3 KJV). #Pretending #faith is like building on sand-it is easily #overcome under pressure, but BE-ing #Christian builds solid, #unshakable faith on the #Rock of Ages, #JESUS!
16
A good man OBTAINETH #FAVOUR of the LORD: but a man of wicked DEVICES will He #CONDEMN (Prov. 12:2 KJV). #God #exposes & #rebukes 2-faced “believers” who #wickedly #scheme their way thru life, but #honors & #rewards the #righteous who LIVE their faith with #grace & #integrity!

Whoso #LOVETH #INSTRUCTION loveth #KNOWLEDGE: But he that HATETH REPROOF is BRUTISH” (Proverbs 12:1 KJV). Both #reward & #punishment #teach. The #wise #embrace EVERY LESSON & #grow; the #fool, #resists like a stubborn beast: they will not listen, will not learn, & will not grow.

Behold, the #righteous shall be #RECOMPENSED IN THE EARTH: Much MORE the wicked and the #SINNER” (Proverbs 11:31 KJV). God makes #believers #complete through #corrections they faithfully #endure, and assigns #severe #consequence to the ungodly that He had mercifully deferred!

The #FRUIT of the #righteous is a #TREE of #life; and he that #WINNETH #souls is #WISE” (Proverbs 11:30 KJV) Wise, skilled, practiced #witnesses for #Jesus #Christ know the Way to and the #rewards of #leading others straight to Him: #abundant LIFE now and forever!
11
He that #TROUBLETH his own house shall #INHERIT the #WIND: & the #FOOL shall be #SERVANT to the #WISE of heart (Prov. 11:29 KJV). Rebellious, reckless, insensitive fools must always have #competent #supervision; of themselves they will have, be, & leave behind NOTHING of value.
27
He that #TRUSTETH in his #RICHES shall #FALL: But the righteous shall #FLOURISH as a BRANCH (Prov. 11:28 KJV) Figuratively, all depending upon the world 4 life will eventually #wither, but ALL leaves in the #Vine of #Christ thrive as they extend His love, grace & mercy to others!
9
He that #DILIGENTLY #SEEKETH good PROCURETH #FAVOUR: But he that seeketh #MISCHIEF, it shall come unto him” (Proverbs 11:27 KJV). Actively seeking & doing GOOD things reaps #BLESSINGS, but, all who look up &/or indulge #troubling things, the source will seek & find THEM 4 ill!
6
He that #WITHHOLDETH CORN, the PEOPLE shall #CURSE him: But #BLESSING shall b upon the HEAD of him that #SELLETH it (Prov. 11:26 KJV), #Profit-ONLY vendors selfishly TAKE from a community 2 their eventual #harm, but a #benevolent vendor #INVESTS in a community 4 MUTUAL #benefit!
11
The #LIBERAL soul shall be made #FAT: & he that #WATERETH shall be WATERED also himself (Prov. 11:25 KJV). The #thoroughly & #cheerfully #generous person shall #flourish: devoted examples of right living in #Christ walk in an abundant “rain” of God’s grace, mercy & righteousness!
16
There is that SCATTERETH, & yet INCREASETH; & there is that WITHHOLDETH more than is MEET, but it tendeth 2 #POVERTY (Proverbs 11:24 KJV). Humble #GENEROSITY leads 2 abundant #blessing & fulfilled #desires; #selfishness, though expecting better, more often than not leads 2 #want.
15
The #DESIRE of the #righteous is ONLY #GOOD: BUT the #EXPECTATION of the #wicked is #WRATH” (Proverbs 11:23 KJV). Selfish, wicked #ways, lead ONLY to #suffering; #Christ’s righteous paths lead ONLY to GOOD!
21
As a #JEWEL of #GOLD in a #SWINE’S SNOUT, so is a #FAIR #woman which is WITHOUT #DISCRETION! (Proverbs 11:22 KJV). #God’s #Wisdom: Before pursuing #relationships, consider MORE than just #appearance. 4 as jewelry does NOT #recommend a pig, beauty does NOT recommend the #unwise!
76
Though hand join in hand, the #wicked shall NOT b #UNPUNISHED: but the seed of the #righteous shall b #delivered (Prov. 11:21 KJV) Even united in resisting God over time, the willfully wicked will 1 day answer 4 their sins, but whole families of faithful #believers WILL go #free!
23
They that r of a FROWARD heart r ABOMINATION 2 the #LORD: but such as r UPRIGHT in their way r HIS DELIGHT (Prov. 11:20 KJV). #God made people w/great #potential ONLY realized in His Way (#CHRIST). Rejection of this condition He hates, but He #DELIGHTS in all who choose 2 accept!
14
As #RIGHTEOUSNESS tendeth to #LIFE: So he that #PURSUETH #evil PURSUETH it to his own death” (Proverbs 11:19 KJV). All who chase after evil to their end find only #ruinous #decline, but #Christ pursued #INCLINES to #genuinely right and #healthy #living, now and forever!
11
The wicked worketh a #DECEITFUL work: but 2 him that SOWETH #righteousness shall be a SURE reward (Proverbs 11:18 KJV). The #godless selfishly WASTE life pursuing lying, #temporary gains, but believers who share Jesus in Word & deed enjoy a #truly #enriching, #everlasting #prize!
8
The #MERCIFUL man DOETH #GOOD to his OWN #SOUL: but he that is #CRUEL #TROUBLETH his own flesh” (Proverbs 11:17 KJV). The ruthlessly cruel sow only #turbulence & #illness in kin and self alike, but the loving & merciful reap abundant, lasting, peaceful #contentment deep within!
17
A #GRACIOUS #woman RETAINETH HONOUR: STRONG men #RETAIN RICHES (Prov. 11:16 KJV). A wise, grace-filled wife, the #crown of her husband, holds tight 2 the #honor & virtue #God’s #favor endows: a #DILIGENT husband sees her as a BLESSING BEYOND COMPARE & holds her close @ ALL COSTS!
