The Folly of Wickedness
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 11
|
|
1. Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord,
|
|
But a just weight is His delight.
|
|
|
|
2. When pride comes, then comes shame;
|
|
But with the humble is wisdom.
|
|
|
|
3. The integrity of the upright will guide them,
|
|
But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
|
|
|
|
4. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
|
|
But righteousness delivers from death.
|
|
|
|
5. The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright,
|
|
But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.
|
|
|
|
6. The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
|
|
But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
|
|
|
|
7. When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish,
|
|
And the hope of the unjust perishes.
|
|
|
|
8. The righteous is delivered from trouble,
|
|
And it comes to the wicked instead.
|
|
|
|
9. The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
|
|
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
|
|
|
|
10. When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices;
|
|
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
|
|
|
|
11. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted,
|
|
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
|
|
|
|
12. He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor,
|
|
But a man of understanding holds his peace.
|
|
|
|
13. A talebearer reveals secrets,
|
|
But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.
|
|
|
|
14. Where there is no counsel, the people fall;
|
|
But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
|
|
|
|
15. He who is surety for a stranger will suffer,
|
|
But one who hates being surety is secure.
|
|
|
|
16. A gracious woman retains honor,
|
|
But ruthless men retain riches.
|
|
|
|
17. The merciful man does good for his own soul,
|
|
But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
|
|
|
|
18. The wicked man does deceptive work,
|
|
But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward.
|
|
|
|
19. As righteousness leads to life,
|
|
So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.
|
|
|
|
20. Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord,
|
|
But the blameless in their ways are His delight.
|
|
|
|
21. Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished;
|
|
But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
|
|
|
|
22. As a ring of gold in a swine's snout,
|
|
So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion.
|
|
|
|
23. The desire of the righteous is only good,
|
|
But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
|
|
|
|
24. There is one who scatters, yet increases more;
|
|
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
|
|
But it leads to poverty.
|
|
|
|
25. The generous soul will be made rich,
|
|
And he who waters will also be watered himself.
|
|
|
|
26. The people will curse him who withholds grain,
|
|
But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
|
|
|
|
27. He who earnestly seeks good finds favor,
|
|
But trouble will come to him who seeks evil.
|
|
|
|
28. He who trusts in his riches will fall,
|
|
But the righteous will flourish like foliage.
|
|
|
|
29. He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind,
|
|
And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
|
|
|
|
30. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
|
|
And he who wins souls is wise.
|
|
|
|
31. If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth,
|
|
How much more the ungodly and the sinner.
