Proverbs 11:19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
Righteousness not only helps us have a good life here on this earth but ensures us that we will spend eternity in Heaven with our God. While people that pursue to continue to do that which is wrong or evil will do it to their death and spend eternity in hell. Those who have a heart that is “froward “, which means crooked or false, are the evil ones and they are an abomination to God. God looks more at our heart than He does our actions because what comes from the heart determines our actions. So if our heart is for God then He is delighted in us and will bless us. We see in verse 21 that even if the ungodly join hand in hand to tear down the righteous of God they will not go unpunished and the seed of the righteous that remains will be delivered and blessed.
Acts 16:31 “And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
