Proverbs 11

A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah;

When pride cometh, then cometh shame;

The integrity of the upright shall guide them;

Riches profit not in the day of wrath;

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way;

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them;

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish;

The righteous is delivered out of trouble;

With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor;

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth;

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted;

He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom;

He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets;

Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth;

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it;

A gracious woman obtaineth honor;

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul;

The wicked earneth deceitful wages;

He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life;

They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah;

Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished;

As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,

The desire of the righteous is only good;

There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more;

The liberal soul shall be made fat;

He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him;

He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor;

He that trusteth in his riches shall fall;

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind;

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;

Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth;
