Proverbs 11:1-6

International Children’s Bible

11 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.
