Proverbs 11:1-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. The Lord hates dishonest scales.But he is pleased with correct weights.

2. Pride leads only to shame.It is wise not to be proud.

3. Good people will be guided by honesty.But dishonesty will destroy those who are not trustworthy.

4. Riches will not help when it’s time to die.But doing what is right will save you from dying too soon.

5. The goodness of an innocent person makes his life easier.But a wicked person will be destroyed by his wickedness.

6. Doing what is right brings freedom to honest people.But those who are not trustworthy will be caught by their own desires.

7. When a wicked person dies, his hope is gone.The hopes he placed in his riches will come to nothing.

8. The good man is saved from trouble.It comes to the wicked instead.

9. By his words an evil person can destroy his neighbor.But a good person will escape by being smart.

10. When good people succeed, the city is happy.When evil people die, there are shouts of joy.
