Justice for All
[1] Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, But a just weight is His delight.
Below are some cherry picked verses about righteousness from Proverbs 11 written by Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived:
[3] The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
[4] Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.
[5] The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.
[6] The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
[8] The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.
[9] With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape.
[10] When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
[11] Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.
[14] For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.
[18] A wicked person earns deceptive wages, but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
[19] Truly the righteous attain life, but whoever pursues evil finds death.
[20] The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.
[21] Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.
[23] The desire of the righteous ends only in good, but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.
[27] Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.
[28] Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
[30] The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives.
[31] If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
Hold the line of righteousness and do not compromise with the wicked!
