Proverbs 11

Comments











[1]

[1] ¶ A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.^[1]

[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 counsellers there is safety.

[15] He that is surety for a stranger ^[2]shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship 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.^[3]

[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 also 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.^[4]

[31] Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
