Proverbs 11
1.On Deception














The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD
This phrase highlights the inner moral corruption that is detestable to God. The term "perverse" refers to those who are morally twisted or corrupt, indicating a heart that is not aligned with God's righteousness. In biblical context, the heart is often seen as the center of one's being, encompassing thoughts, intentions, and will. The use of "abomination" signifies something that is utterly repulsive to God, similar to the strong language used inLeviticus 18:22 andDeuteronomy 25:16, where certain practices are described as abominations. This reflects God's holiness and His intolerance for sin. The emphasis on the heart suggests that God is concerned not just with outward actions but with the inner motivations and attitudes of individuals.

but the blameless in their walk are His delight
In contrast to the perverse, those who are "blameless" are described as being a source of joy to God. The term "blameless" does not imply sinlessness but rather integrity and uprightness in one's conduct. This aligns with the biblical theme of walking in righteousness, as seen inGenesis 6:9, where Noah is described as a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. The "walk" refers to one's way of life or conduct, suggesting a consistent pattern of living that aligns with God's commandments. This phrase underscores the biblical principle that God delights in those who strive to live according to His will, as seen inPsalm 37:23, where the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. The contrast between the perverse and the blameless highlights the moral choices that individuals must make and the corresponding divine response.

What Does Proverbs 11:20 Mean
The perverse in heart

• “Perverse” pictures someone whose inner compass is twisted—thinking, motives, and values bent away from God’s standards (seeProverbs 2:14-15).

• Scripture consistently links an impure heart to corrupt actions. Jesus said, “For out of the heart come evil thoughts… These are what defile a man” (Matthew 15:19-20).

• Jeremiah confirms the problem: “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure” (Jeremiah 17:9).

Are an abomination to the LORD

• “Abomination” is strong language—God’s settled, holy revulsion toward sin (compareProverbs 6:16-19, a list of actions the LORD hates).

•Psalm 5:4-6 underscores this: “You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness… You hate all workers of iniquity”.

• The point is not mere dislike; it is absolute moral opposition. A warped heart offends the very character of God, who is “holy, holy, holy” (Isaiah 6:3).

But the blameless in their walk

• “Blameless” describes integrity, not sinless perfection—an honest, wholehearted alignment with God’s ways (seePsalm 15:2, “He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness,”).

• Notice the word “walk.” Righteousness is lived out daily, not merely professed.Micah 6:8 puts it plainly: “He has shown you, O man, what is good… to walk humbly with your God”.

• This verse contrasts inner perversity with outwardly evident faithfulness; what fills the heart shapes the footsteps.

Are His delight

• Amazingly, the Creator finds joy in people who reflect His character.Proverbs 12:22 echoes the thought: “Lying lips are detestable to the LORD, but those who deal faithfully are His delight”.

•1 Samuel 15:22 reminds us that obedience pleases Him more than ritual: “To obey is better than sacrifice”.

• God delights because blameless living showcases His own righteousness and spreads blessing to others (Proverbs 10:9; 11:3).

summary

Proverbs 11:20 draws a sharp line: a twisted heart repels God, while a life of integrity attracts His pleasure. The verse presses us to examine our inner motives, not just outward habits, and urges a daily walk that mirrors the Lord’s own faithfulness—turning from the crooked path to the straight one that delights Him.

Verse 20. -They that are of a froward heart (Proverbs 17:20); Septuagint, "perverse ways." The word means "distorted from the right," "obstinate in error."Upright in their way (Proverbs 2:21;Proverbs 29:27;Psalm 119:1).
