September 11: Proverbs 11–12; Psalm 68:1–18; John 8
Old Testament: Proverbs 11–12 Proverbs 11–12 (Listen) 11 A false balance is an abomination to the LORD,<br /> but a just weight is his delight.<br />2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,<br /> but with the humble is wisdom.<br />3 The integrity of the upright guides them,<br /> but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.<br />4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,<br /> but righteousness delivers from death.<br />5 The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight,<br /> but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.<br />6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them,<br /> but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.<br />7 When the wicked dies, his hope will perish,<br /> and the expectation of wealth1 perishes too.<br />8 The righteous is delivered from trouble,<br /> and the wicked walks into it instead.<br />9 With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,<br /> but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.<br />10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,
