Proverbs 11:31

Behold (look, pay close attention to this – Hebr. hen), if the righteous receive their reward already here on earth [all our actions have consequences, righteousness brings blessing, peace, and success, but missteps also have consequences],
how much more so the wicked and the sinner.
[This is the only verse in Proverbs that begins with the word "Behold." It gives extra focus and highlights that the verse has an important message. The word for reward (Hebr. shalem) comes from the word shalom and can be used in both a positive and negative sense. This means that the verse can be interpreted in two ways. The righteous are rewarded with peace and blessings already here on earth, but may also have to face the consequences of their missteps. Regardless of interpretation, the basic message is clear and is summarized in 1 Pet. 4:18: "If the righteous are scarcely saved, what will become of the unrighteous?" ]
