Proverbs
Chapter 11

1] False scales are an abomination to the LORD, but a full weight is his delight.
2] When pride comes, disgrace comes; but with the humble is wisdom.
3] The honesty of the upright guides them; the faithless are ruined by their duplicity.
4] Wealth is useless on the day of wrath, but virtue saves from death.
5] The honest man's virtue makes his way straight, but by his wickedness the wicked man falls.
6] The virtue of the upright saves them, but the faithless are caught in their own intrigue.
7] When a wicked man dies his hope perishes, and what is expected from strength comes to nought.
8] The just man escapes trouble, and the wicked man falls into it in his stead.
9] With his mouth the impious man would ruin his neighbor, but through their knowledge the just make their escape.
10] When the just prosper, the city rejoices; and when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
11] Through the blessing of the righteous the city is exalted, but through the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.
12] He who reviles his neighbor has no sense, but the intelligent man keeps silent.
13] A newsmonger reveals secrets, but a trustworthy man keeps a confidence.
14] For lack of guidance a people falls; security lies in many counselors.
15] He is in a bad way who becomes surety for another, but he who hates giving pledges is safe.
16] A gracious woman wins esteem, but she who hates virtue is covered with shame. (The slothful become impoverished, but the diligent gain wealth.)
17] A kindly man benefits himself, but a merciless man harms himself.
18] The wicked man makes empty profits, but he who sows virture has a sure reward.
19] Virtue directs toward life, but he who pursues evil does so to his death.
20] The depraved in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those who walk blamelessly are his delight.
21] Truly the evil man shall not go unpunished, but those who are just shall escape.
22] Like a golden ring in a swine's snout is a beautiful woman with a rebellious disposition.
23] The desire of the just ends only in good; the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24] One man is lavish yet grows still richer; another is too sparing, yet is the poorer.
25] He who confers benefits will be amply enriched, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
26] Him who monopolizes grain, the people curse-- but blessings upon the head of him who distributes it!
27] He who seeks the good commands favor, but he who pursues evil will have evil befall him.
28] He who trusts in his riches will fall, but like green leaves the just flourish.
29] He who upsets his household has empty air for a heritage; and the fool will become slave to the wise man.
30] The fruit of virtue is a tree of life, but violence takes lives away.
31] If the just man is punished on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
