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. |
