The Message

Proverbs 11:1-7 The Message (MSG)

1. God hates cheating in the marketplace;he loves it when business is aboveboard.

2. The stuck-up fall flat on their faces,but down-to-earth people stand firm.

3. The integrity of the honest keeps them on track;the deviousness of crooks brings them to ruin.

4. A thick bankroll is no help when life falls apart,but a principled life can stand up to the worst.

5. Moral character makes for smooth traveling;an evil life is a hard life.

6. Good character is the best insurance;crooks get trapped in their sinful lust.

7. When the wicked die, that’s it—the story’s over, end of hope.
