PNP SWIM ( Honesty)

HONESTY A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.
Proverbs 11:1 ESV From the fruit of his mouth a man is satisf i ed with good, and the work of a man’s hand comes back to him.
Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit
Proverbs 12:14, 17 ESV
Solomon had much to say about speaking the truth. He also talks about the results of lies - its abusive and abrasive power as well as its power to explain, exonerate, and exalt. Special perils lie in wait for those who speak dishonestly. Many sins are sins of speaking dishonestly. People in the workplace are always put to the acid test of telling the truth or compromising it with the desire to make easy money in business or simply to safeguard them from the ugly truth.
Selecting from some verses of Proverbs, we can learn that honesty (i.e., speaking the truth) is a ref l ection of what is godly and righteous while being dishonest (i.e., speaking lies and deceit) shows a person who does not respect God and only pursues self i sh gains.
