Proverbs 11:3-4<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

11:3-4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201d<\/b> 3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. 4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.<\/em><\/p>\n

Security comes through righteousness. The godly live with integrity (wholeness, completeness, etc.) and this leads or guides them to their desired goal. They will be safe in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153day of wrath\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153death\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (parallelism between the two). The wicked live crooked lives and it will destroy them and ultimately, even their wealth won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help them in the day of God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wrath. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The wealth that the subversive and treacherous accumulate in defiance of the Lord\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rule and at the expense of others will backfire and not save them in the time of God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wrath (vv. 3b-4a).\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Waltke)<\/p>\n

A path of integrity in the Lord will have consequences. If we escape notice in our duplicity, if we avoid punishment in our treachery, then we are assured that this course of life will not last. Eventually, it will come back on the person. Though riches can preserve a person in some things (cf. 10:15), it cannot help in the sure things (God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s judgment). The righteous generally escape difficulties while the wicked generally invite them (v. 8).<\/p>\n

Christologically interpreted, Christ\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s righteousness enables sinners to escape death and the day of wrath because the Son of God delivers us from the wrath to come. His own death secured life for us and His righteousness delivers us from death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
