Proverbs 11
1.On Deception














He who searches out good finds favor
This phrase emphasizes the principle of seeking righteousness and goodness, which is a recurring theme throughout the Bible. The act of searching implies intentionality and effort, suggesting that favor is not merely stumbled upon but actively pursued. In biblical context, "favor" often refers to the grace and approval of God, as seen inGenesis 6:8 where Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. This aligns with the teachings of Jesus inMatthew 7:7, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find," highlighting the importance of actively pursuing what is good and righteous. The cultural context of ancient Israel placed high value on wisdom and moral integrity, which were seen as pathways to divine favor and blessing.

but evil will come to him who seeks it
This part of the verse serves as a warning about the consequences of pursuing wickedness. The phrase suggests a cause-and-effect relationship, where seeking evil inevitably leads to encountering it. This is consistent with the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, as articulated inGalatians 6:7, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." The historical context of Proverbs, attributed to Solomon, reflects a time when wisdom literature was used to instruct people in living a life that aligns with God's will. The pursuit of evil is portrayed as a deliberate choice that leads to negative outcomes, reinforcing the moral order established by God. This also echoes the warnings found in the Psalms and the Prophets, where turning away from God and seeking evil leads to judgment and destruction.

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Proverbs 11

How does Job 27:7-10 reconcile with observable reality where the wicked sometimes prosper rather than face immediate punishment?

Proverbs 3:2 promises 'long life and peace' for obedience--how do we reconcile this with devout individuals who die young or endure immense turmoil?

Psalm 141:5 - Why would a 'strike' or rebuke from the righteous be considered a kindness, when other biblical passages seem to discourage violence?

What does the Bible say about recompense?(27)Procureth favour.--By the very act of striving after good, he is seeking for the favour of both God and man.

Verse 27. -He that diligently seeketh good; literally,he that seeketh in the morning, as so often in Scripture, the phrase, "rising early," implies unimpaired powers and diligence (Proverbs 27:14;Jeremiah 7:13, etc,).Procureth favour; better,seeketh favour; by his very act of striving after what is good, he is striving to do what may please and benefit others, and thus to please God. Vulgate, "Well does he rise early who seeketh good."It - mischief -shall come unto him; the consequences of his evil life shall fall upon his end. Says an Indian proverb, "When men are ripe for slaughter, even straws turn into thunderbolts."
