Proverbs chapter 11.

Summary: Evildoers will be punished. Righteous people desire what is good, and eventual

outcome is all good. The wicked will end up with God's wrath and punishment. Kind-hearted

givers will be rewarded with riches and wealth. Generous person will prosper. Hoarding is

bad business practice. Seeking the good, heavenly things will make the righteous prosper.

Do not overly trust on world riches. Righteous will gain the tree of life.

We are reminded that those who do evil and live sinful lives will be punished eventually. Those who

live righteous lives will be delivered and be saved.

A foolish woman without discretion is compared to a pig, which is a most disliked animal of the Jews.

A foolish woman without discretion is figurative for carnal and worldly desires, fleshly lust, lust of the

eyes.

What is wanted by the righteous person are beneficial, and will be granted by God. All good things

come to the righteous person. Multitude of blessings will come upon the righteous.

For the wicked person, his future will be the wrath of God. God will punish the bad, the wicked, and

the evildoers.

God rewards the person who gives freely for worthy causes. The person who gives freely his money,

time and effort to the needy will receive much more, and reap abundantly. On contrast, the person

who sees a need and withhold from aiding that need...may eventually have less, because the less he

sows, the less blessings he will reap.

It is possible a man may grow rich by prudently spending what he

has, may scatter in works of piety, charity, and generosity, and

yet may increase; nay, by that means may increase, as the corn is

increased by being sown. By cheerfully using what we have our spirits

are exhilarated, and so fitted for the business we have to do, by

minding which closely what we have is increased; it gains a reputation

which contributes to the increase. But it is especially to be ascribed to

God; he blesses the giving hand, and so makes it a getting hand, 2

Cor. 9:10. Give, and it shall be given you.

Proverbs chapter 11 (part 4) - One man gives freely, yet

grows all the richer. Wise sayings of Solomon

21 Be assured, an evil man will not go unpunished,21

but those who are righteous will be delivered.

22 Like a gold ring in a swine’s snout22 is a beautiful woman

without discretion. (RSV)

Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished,21

but those who are righteous will go free.

Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout22

is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion. (NIV)

23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good;23

the expectation of the wicked in wrath. (RSV)

23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good,23

but the hope of the wicked only in wrath. (NIV)

23

24 One person gives freely, yet gains even more;24

another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. (NIV)

24 There is one who scatters, yet increases more;24

And there is one who withholds more than is right,But

it leads to poverty. (NKJV)

25 The generous soul will be made rich,25

And he who waters will also be watered himself.

26 The people will curse him who withholds grain,26

A generous person will be favoured by other people; this is beneficial for business. A

favoured businessman may get repeated business, many repeat orders. Hence, his business

may prosper and continue to grow and expand. Generosity is a good business

principle!

Luke 6:38 is one of my all-time favorite verses.

give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down,

shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the

measure you give will be the measure you get back.” (NIV)

Hoarding of goods to force the shortage of goods and increase the market price of goods is a bad

business practice. Businessman should carry out business in fair and win-win scenario. We must

remember that God hates businessman who cheats and deceives others.

We have to wise and careful with our abundance. When in crisis situation, do we take out our

abundance to help and benefit others in the crisis? Do we offer our help? Do offer our professional

advice when required? Do we lend when there is a pressing need?

The person who seeks good things will favour from God and men. We must seek things which are

good, pure, noble, right. "Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these shall be given to you." We

should put God first, and seek first the heavenly assets. When we prioritize on God and heavenly

matters, all our worldly needs will also be fulfilled.

But for those who seek evil (fleshly lust, worldly and carnal desires, lusts of the eyes) and live sinful

lives, evil (troubles, tribulations, tragedies, disasters, mishaps) may happen to them.

The righteous person will put his trust in God, and will always continue to live on in peace, in joy. But

for the person who trust in riches and money. this is futile because money and riches are only for this

world. Money and riches cannot be brought forward to heaven. So we believers must live with proper

balance, priority to God, yet diligent and hardworking in our work and business to enable us to earn

a decent income with money to spare. Though we should pay attention to heavenly treasure, we

must not be lazy and slothful because God hates laziness. Though we need heavenly treasure, we

also need to earn money and lay up some world treasure for our livelihood.

Whoever is causing conflict and discord in his family, whoever is causing family feuds, whoever

creating chaos in his family, he will cause himself much trouble and unrest. Like to effect of strong

wind, his family will not be stable, will be shaken. Much unhappiness will be experienced by him and

his family.

We need to be wise to handle various matters and issues in our family. We need to maintain love,

joy, peace and harmony in the family.

The foolish person will eventually become as servant to the wise person. The wise person will earn

more money and gather more riches and wealth than the foolish. The wise will be honoured by God

and men, the foolish may not necessary be respected. The wise will eventually be much better off

than the foolish.

But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. (NKJV)

A generous person will prosper;25

whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

People curse the one who hoards grain,26

but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing

to sell. (NIV)

27 He who earnestly seeks good finds favor,

But trouble will come to him who seeks evil. (NKJV)

28 He who trusts in his riches will wither,[a]

but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf. (RSV)

28 Those who trust in their riches will fall,

but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. (NIV)

29 He who troubles his household will inherit wind,

and the fool will be servant to the wise. (RSV)

29 Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,

and the fool will be servant to the wise. (NIV)

29 He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind,

And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. (NKJV)

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,30

and the one who is wise saves lives.

The righteous person will gain the tree of life, with many good fruits for a good life on this earth, as

well as good fruits for the eternal life. Those who win souls (bring over the wicked/bad person to the

path of righteousness) are wise, and doing correctly. The righteous will be much

rewarded, not only in heaven, but also in this world. We believers have

many incentives, benefits, and blessing for living righteous lives in this world.

On the contrary, those who live foolish and sinful lives, will also be rewarded but in a negative way.

Punishment is waiting for those choose to live wickedly.

And he who wins souls is wise.

If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth,31

How much more the ungodly and the sinner. (NKJV)
