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