Chapter 11
-
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight.
-
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.
-
The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.
-
Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
-
The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.
-
The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.
-
When the wicked dies, his hope will perish, and the expectation of wealth perishes too.
-
The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked walks into it instead.
-
With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
-
When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
-
By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.
-
Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent.
-
Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.
-
Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
-
Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.
-
A gracious woman gets honor, and violent men get riches.
-
A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.
-
The wicked earns deceptive wages, but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward.
-
Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die.
-
Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those of blameless ways are his delight.
-
Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
-
Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.
-
The desire of the righteous ends only in good, the expectation of the wicked in wrath.
-
One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
-
Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.
-
The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.
-
Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it.
-
Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
-
Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
-
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise.
-
If the righteous is repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
