Proverbs

Chapter 11

¹A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight. ²When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. ³The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. ⁴Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. ⁵The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness. ⁶The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their own covetousness. ⁷When a wicked man dies, his hope will perish; and the expectation of the godless comes to nothing. ⁸The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked steps into his place. ⁹With his mouth a godless man would destroy his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous are delivered. ¹⁰When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there are shouts of gladness. ¹¹By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown. ¹²Whoever slanders his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent. ¹³Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered. ¹⁴Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. ¹⁵Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer for it, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure. ¹⁶A gracious woman gets honor, and violent men get riches. ¹⁷A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself. ¹⁸The wicked earns deceptive wages, but one who sows righteousness gets a true reward. ¹⁹Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die. ²⁰Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those of blameless way are his delight. ²¹Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered. ²²Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion. ²³The desire of the righteous ends only in good; the expectation of the wicked ends in wrath. ²⁴One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. ²⁵Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. ²⁶The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it. ²⁷Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it. ²⁸Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf. ²⁹Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. ³⁰The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise. ³¹If the righteous is repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
