This chapter brings tears to my eyes. Solomon is giving advice to the upright and warnings to the wicked. IF—THEN promises and warnings. A God-honoring lifestyle—brings God's reward. A lifestyle that is selfish, wicked, and does not honor God—brings ruin and destruction.

Solomon doesn't sugar coat anything, he lays it out plain and simple. Here's the facts folks:

- Pride and evil actions ARE sin. Plain and simple.
