11:19 Never pursue the ways of evil men. They may seem to prosper, applauded and happy for it, but like an intoxicating drug, sin always ends in trouble(s), even death.
"In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death." Proverbs 12:28
Jesus is life. Abide in Him and there is no death. His ways are life. Abide in His ways, and abide in life, wherein there is no death.
In reading the news, one can see many whose way ended in death. Proverbs 11:19 says, "As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death."
The word evil can mean bad or wrong. The person who follows that which is "bad" pursues it to his own death; likewise, the person who follows that which is "wrong" follows it to his own death.
There is a "right" way, and there is a "wrong" way. There is a way that is life, and there is a way that is death.
"...in the pathway thereof there is no death." In the pathway of righteousness is no death; but, some might say the righteous is slain by death even when he stays in the path of righteousness: but, not so.
We are more than conquerors. Romans 8:36-39 The word "conquerors" means "to vanquish beyond." We who abide in the way of righteousness, when death presents himself as our enemy, overcome him and stand beyond him in life. We conquer beyond; we conquer whatever it is that presents itself in the path of righteousness - we conquer and go beyond it.
We are more than conquerors through Jesus. We conquer death through the life of Jesus Christ.
Honesty, humility, integrity, are the flow of ch 11, which leads to deliverance and guidance in all affairs of life. The sum of ch 11 is the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life and he that winneth souls is wise .We will want to encourage folks to believe the truth of the gospel and be saved.
PROVERBS CHAPTER 11: THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUS IS THE KEY TO LIFE. THE DESIRE OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS TO ONLY DO GOOD. DILIGENTLY SEEK GOOD AND GOD WILL GIVE YOU FAVOR.
Jeff. "planted by the rivers of water" mean: When you plant a tree your 1st expectation is to watch it grow and bear leaves, right. But if you do not water it, it will not grow. For us that would mean:If Christians do not bear fruit in their season the tree (which is us) will wither away and cause the tree to die (our interman the Holy Spirit). If you are not walking in your purpose and using what God gave you, then you become just like a tree without it's fruit. You should be excerising your right as a Christian and walking in your calling by helping others and spreading the Gospel and let people know what God has done for you and what he has brought you through. Sometimes Christians are fearful of what the Lord wants us to do but we cannot approach our calling in "FEAR". If you are struggling in this area or maybe you know someone that is study these Bible verses; Isiah 61:3/ Proverbs 11:28/ Psalms 92:12/ Jeremiah 14:1/ Ezekiel 47:12/ Jeremiah 39:18 and Job 29:19.
Jesus is life. Abide in Him and there is no death. His ways are life. Abide in His ways, and abide in life, wherein there is no death.

The word honour used in this verse means "weight" in the Hebrew language. It comes from a word that means "to be heavy."
This is one time it is a compliment if someone says, "you've put on some weight." A heavy set woman is a glory to the Lord.
