Proverbs #11


PROVERBS 11


Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, But
a just weight is His delight.


2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble
is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the
perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.

4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But
righteousness delivers from death.

5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his
way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But
the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.

7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish,
And the hope of the unjust perishes.

8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, And it comes
to the wicked instead.

9 The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, But
through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.

10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices;
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But
it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

12 He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, But
a man of understanding holds his peace.

13 A talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is of a
faithful spirit conceals a matter.

14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in
the multitude of counselors there is safety.

15 He who is surety for a stranger will suffer, But one
who hates being surety is secure.

16 A gracious woman retains honor, But ruthless men
retain riches.

17 The merciful man does good for his own soul, But he
who is cruel troubles his own flesh.

18 The wicked man does deceptive work, But he who sows
righteousness will have a sure reward.

19 As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues
evil pursues it to his own death.

20 Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination
to the Lord, But the blameless in their ways are His
delight.

21 Though they join forces, the wicked will not go
unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will
be delivered.

22 As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, So is a lovely
woman who lacks discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous is only good, But the
expectation of the wicked is wrath.

24 There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And
there is one who withholds more than is right, But it
leads to poverty.

25 The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters
will also be watered himself.

26 The people will curse him who withholds grain, But
blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

27 He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, But trouble
will come to him who seeks evil.

28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the
righteous will flourish like foliage.

29 He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind,
And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he
who wins souls is wise.

31 If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth,
How much more the ungodly and the sinner.

God Bless you -
