Steve Webb 0:08This is the Lifespring family Audio Bible coming to you from Riverside, California, podcasting since 2004. I'm your OG God casters. Steve Webb, welcome. This is a daily show where we are reading through the entire Bible in a year. And this is going to be a truncated episode. I'm afraid I'm having some more atrial fibrillation today. And when that happens, I have to really curtail my activities. So we'll be having the reading of our chapters today, Proverbs 11, and 12. But that's going to be it. If you'd be so kind as to pray for me that would be very much appreciated. So for now, I'm going to say See you later and until tomorrow when our reading will be Ezekiel 31 through 36. May God bless you richly. Thank you for being here. My name is Steve Webb, bye.

Steve Webb 0:59Proverbs chapter 11.

Steve Webb 1:01The Lord hates people who use dishonest scales. He is happy with honest weights. People who are proud will soon be disgraced. It is wiser to be modest. If you are good, you are guided by honesty. People who can't be trusted or destroyed by their own dishonesty. riches will do you no good on the day you face death, but honesty can save your life. Honesty makes a good person's life easier, but the wicked will cause their own downfall. Righteousness rescues those who are honest, but those who can't be trusted are trapped by their own greed. When the wicked die, their hope dies with them. Confidence placed in riches comes to nothing. The righteous are protected from trouble, it comes to the wicked instead, you can be ruined by the talk of godless people, but the wisdom of the righteous can save you. A city is happy when honest people have good fortune. And there are joyful shouts when the wicked die. A city becomes great when the righteous give it their blessing. But a city is brought to ruin by the words of the wicked. It is foolish to speak scornfully of others. If you're smart, you will keep quiet. No one who gossips can be trusted with a secret but you can put confidence in someone who was trustworthy. A nation will fall if it has no guidance. Many advisors mean security. If you promise to pay a stranger's debt, you will regret it. You are better off if you don't get involved. A gracious woman is respected but a woman without virtue is a disgrace. Lazy people will never have money but aggressive people will get rich. You do yourself a favor when you're a kind. If you're a cruel you only hurt yourself. Wicked people do not really gain anything. But if you do what is right, you are certain to be rewarded. Anyone who was determined to do right will live but anyone who insists on doing wrong will die. The Lord hates evil minded people, but loves those who do right. You can be sure that evil people will be punished, but the righteous will escape. Beauty and a woman without good judgment is like a gold ring in a pig's snout. What good people want always results in good.
