Proverbs 11
11 aA †false balance is abomination to the Lord:
But †a just weight is his delight.
2 bWhen pride cometh, then cometh shame:
But with the clowly is wisdom.
3 dThe integrity of the upright shall guide them:
But dthe perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
4 eRiches profit not fin the day of wrath:
eBut righteousness delivereth from death.
5 The righteousness of the perfect shall †direct his way:
But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright gshall deliver them:
But transgressors hshall be taken in their own naughtiness.
7 When a wicked man dieth, ihis expectation shall perish:
And jthe hope of unjust men perisheth.
8 kThe righteous is delivered out of trouble,
And the wicked cometh in his stead.
9 An jhypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
lBut through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
10 mWhen it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth:
And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 nBy the blessing of the upright othe city is exalted:
But it is oooverthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 He that is †void of wisdom pdespiseth his neighbour:
But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13 †A talebearer revealeth secrets:
But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14 ppWhere no qcounsel is, the people fall:
pBut in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.
15 rHe that is surety for a stranger †shall smart for it:
And he that hateth †suretiship is sure.
16 sA gracious woman retaineth honour:
And tstrong men retain riches.
17 uThe merciful man doeth good to his own soul:
But he that is wcruel troubleth his own flesh.
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work:
But to xhim that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
19 As righteousness tendeth yto life:
So zhe that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20 They that are aof a froward heart are abomination to the Lord:
But such as are bupright in their way are chis delight.
21 dThough hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished:
But ethe seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
22 As fa jewel of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a fair woman which †is without ffdiscretion.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good:
But the expectation of the wicked is gwrath.
24 ggThere is that hscattereth, and yet increaseth;
And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, ibut it tendeth to poverty.
25 j†The liberal soul kshall be made fat:
And kkhe that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26 He that withholdeth corn, lthe people shall curse him:
But blessing shall be upon the head of him that llselleth it.
27 He that mdiligently seeketh good procureth favour:
But nhe that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28 oHe that trusteth in his riches shall fall:
But the righteous shall pflourish as qa branch.
29 He that troubleth his own house rshall inherit the wind:
And the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30 qThe fruit of the righteous is a stree of life;
And the that †winneth souls is wise.
31 uBehold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth:
Much more the wicked and the sinner.
