Proverbs Chapter 11
|
|||
|
|
1 A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight.
|
|||
|
|
2 When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.
|
|||
|
|
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
|
|||
|
|
4 Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
|
|||
|
|
5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
|
|||
|
|
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
|
|||
|
|
7 When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.
|
|||
|
|
8 A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.
|
|||
|
|
9 With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
|
|||
|
|
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. 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 One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
|
|||
|
|
13 One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
|
|||
|
|
14 Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
|
|||
|
|
15 He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
|
|||
|
|
16 A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.
|
|||
|
|
17 The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
|
|||
|
|
18 Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
|
|||
|
|
19 He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
|
|||
|
|
20 Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
|
|||
|
|
21 Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
|
|||
|
|
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
|
|||
|
|
23 The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
|
|||
|
|
24 There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
|
|||
|
|
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
|
|||
|
|
26 People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
|
|||
|
|
27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.
|
|||
|
|
28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
|
|||
|
|
29 He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
|
|||
|
|
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
|
|||
|
|
31 Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
