Proverbs 11:1-31

A false
<04820>
balance
<03976>
[is] abomination
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_:
but a just
<08003>
weight
<068>
[is] his delight
<07522>_.
{A false...: Heb. Balances of deceit} {just...: Heb. perfect stone}
[When] pride
<02087>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_,
then cometh
<0935> (8799)
shame
<07036>_:
but with the lowly
<06800> (8803)
[is] wisdom
<02451>_.
The integrity
<08538>
of the upright
<03477>
shall guide
<05148> (8686)
them: but the perverseness
<05558>
of transgressors
<0898> (8802)
shall destroy
<07703> (8799) (8675) <07703> (8804)
them.
Riches
<01952>
profit
<03276> (8686)
not in the day
<03117>
of wrath
<05678>_:
but righteousness
<06666>
delivereth
<05337> (8686)
from death
<04194>_.
The righteousness
<06666>
of the perfect
<08549>
shall direct
<03474> (8762)
his way
<01870>_:
but the wicked
<07563>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by his own wickedness
<07564>_.
{direct: Heb. rectify}
The righteousness
<06666>
of the upright
<03477>
shall deliver
<05337> (8686)
them: but transgressors
<0898> (8802)
shall be taken
<03920> (8735)
in [their own] naughtiness
<01942>_.
When a wicked
<07563>
man
<0120>
dieth
<04194>_,
[his] expectation
<08615>
shall perish
<06> (8799)_:
and the hope
<08431>
of unjust
<0205>
[men] perisheth
<06> (8804)_.
The righteous
<06662>
is delivered out
<02502> (8738)
of trouble
<06869>_,
and the wicked
<07563>
cometh
<0935> (8799)
in his stead.
An hypocrite
<02611>
with [his] mouth
<06310>
destroyeth
<07843> (8686)
his neighbour
<07453>_:
but through knowledge
<01847>
shall the just
<06662>
be delivered
<02502> (8735)_.
When it goeth well
<02898>
with the righteous
<06662>_,
the city
<07151>
rejoiceth
<05970> (8799)_:
and when the wicked
<07563>
perish
<06> (8800)_,
[there is] shouting
<07440>_.
By the blessing
<01293>
of the upright
<03477>
the city
<07176>
is exalted
<07311> (8799)_:
but it is overthrown
<02040> (8735)
by the mouth
<06310>
of the wicked
<07563>_.
He that is void
<02638>
of wisdom
<03820>
despiseth
<0936> (8802)
his neighbour
<07453>_:
but a man
<0376>
of understanding
<08394>
holdeth his peace
<02790> (8686)_.
{void...: Heb. destitute of heart}
A talebearer
<01980> (8802) <07400>
revealeth
<01540> (8764)
secrets
<05475>_:
but he that is of a faithful
<0539> (8738)
spirit
<07307>
concealeth
<03680> (8764)
the matter
<01697>_.
{A talebearer: Heb. He that walketh, being a talebearer}
Where no counsel
<08458>
[is], the people
<05971>
fall
<05307> (8799)_:
but in the multitude
<07230>
of counsellors
<03289> (8802)
[there is] safety
<08668>_.
He that is surety
<06148> (8804)
for a stranger
<02114> (8801)
shall smart
<07321> (8735) <07451>
[for it]: and he that hateth
<08130> (8802)
suretiship
<08628> (8802)
is sure
<0982> (8802)_.
{smart: Heb. be sore broken} {suretiship: Heb. those that strike hands}
A gracious
<02580>
woman
<0802>
retaineth
<08551> (8799)
honour
<03519>_:
and strong
<06184>
[men] retain
<08551> (8799)
riches
<06239>_.
The merciful
<02617>
man
<0376>
doeth good
<01580> (8802)
to his own soul
<05315>_:
but [he that is] cruel
<0394>
troubleth
<05916> (8802)
his own flesh
<07607>_.
The wicked
<07563>
worketh
<06213> (8802)
a deceitful
<08267>
work
<06468>_:
but to him that soweth
<02232> (8802)
righteousness
<06666>
[shall be] a sure
<0571>
reward
<07938>_.
As righteousness
<06666>
[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:
so he that pursueth
<07291> (8764)
evil
<07451>
[pursueth it] to his own death
<04194>_.
They that are of a froward
<06141>
heart
<03820>
[are] abomination
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_:
but [such as are] upright
<08549>
in [their] way
<01870>
[are] his delight
<07522>_.
[Though] hand
<03027>
[join] in hand
<03027>_,
the wicked
<07451>
shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_:
but the seed
<02233>
of the righteous
<06662>
shall be delivered
<04422> (8738)_.
[As] a jewel
<05141>
of gold
<02091>
in a swine's
<02386>
snout
<0639>_,
[so is] a fair
<03303>
woman
<0802>
which is without
<05493> (8802)
discretion
<02940>_.
{is without: Heb. departeth from}
The desire
<08378>
of the righteous
<06662>
[is] only good
<02896>_:
[but] the expectation
<08615>
of the wicked
<07563>
[is] wrath
<05678>_.
There is
<03426>
that scattereth
<06340> (8764)_,
and yet increaseth
<03254> (8737)_;
and [there is] that withholdeth
<02820> (8802)
more than is meet
<03476>_,
but [it tendeth] to poverty
<04270>_.
The liberal
<01293>
soul
<05315>
shall be made fat
<01878> (8792)_:
and he that watereth
<07301> (8688)
shall be watered
<03384> (8686)
also himself. {liberal...: Heb. soul of blessing}
He that withholdeth
<04513> (8802)
corn
<01250>_,
the people
<03816>
shall curse
<05344> (8799)
him: but blessing
<01293>
[shall be] upon the head
<07218>
of him that selleth
<07666> (8688)
[it].
He that diligently seeketh
<07836> (8802)
good
<02896>
procureth
<01245> (8762)
favour
<07522>_:
but he that seeketh
<01875> (8802)
mischief
<07451>_,
it shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto him.
He that trusteth
<0982> (8802)
in his riches
<06239>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)_:
but the righteous
<06662>
shall flourish
<06524> (8799)
as a branch
<05929>_.
He that troubleth
<05916> (8802)
his own house
<01004>
shall inherit
<05157> (8799)
the wind
<07307>_:
and the fool
<0191>
[shall be] servant
<05650>
to the wise
<02450>
of heart
<03820>_.
The fruit
<06529>
of the righteous
<06662>
[is] a tree
<06086>
of life
<02416>_;
and he that winneth
<03947> (8802)
souls
<05315>
[is] wise
<02450>_.
{winneth: Heb. taketh}
Behold, the righteous
<06662>
shall be recompensed
<07999> (8792)
in the earth
<0776>_:
much more the wicked
<07563>
and the sinner
<02398> (8802)_.
