Proverbs 11
Chapter 11
- A false balance [is] abomination to the LORD: but a just
weight [is] his delight.
- [When] pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly
[is] wisdom.
- The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the
perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
- Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness
delivereth from death.
- The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but
the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
- The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but
transgressors shall be taken in [their own] naughtiness.
- When a wicked man dieth, [his] expectation shall perish:
and the hope of unjust [men] perisheth.
- The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked
cometh in his stead.
- An hypocrite with [his] mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but
through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
- When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth:
and when the wicked perish, [there is] shouting.
- By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it
is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
- He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a
man of understanding holdeth his peace.
- A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a
faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
- Where no counsel [is], the people fall: but in the
multitude of counsellors [there is] safety.
- He that is surety for a stranger shall smart [for it]: and
he that hateth suretiship is sure.
- A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong [men] retain
riches.
- The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but [he that
is] cruel troubleth his own flesh.
- The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that
soweth righteousness [shall be] a sure reward.
- As righteousness [tendeth] to life: so he that pursueth
evil [pursueth it] to his own death.
- They that are of a froward heart [are] abomination to the
LORD: but [such as are] upright in [their] way [are] his
delight.
- [Though] hand [join] in hand, the wicked shall not be
unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
- [As] a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, [so is] a fair
woman which is without discretion.
- The desire of the righteous [is] only good: [but] the
expectation of the wicked [is] wrath.
- There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there
is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to
poverty.
- The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth
shall be watered also himself.
- He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but
blessing [shall be] upon the head of him that selleth [it].
- He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he
that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
- He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the
righteous shall flourish as a branch.
- He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind:
and the fool [shall be] servant to the wise of heart.
- The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he
that winneth souls [is] wise.
- Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth:
much more the wicked and the sinner.
