Book 20 Proverbs Chapter 011

 

011:001A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight
is his delight.

 

011:002When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is
wisdom.

 

011:003The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the
perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

 

011:004Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness
delivereth from death.

 

011:005The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the
wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

 

011:006The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but
transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

 

011:007When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the
hope of unjust men perisheth.

 

011:008The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked
cometh in his stead.

 

011:009An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but
through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

 

011:010When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and
when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

 

011:011By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is
overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

 

011:012He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man
of understanding holdeth his peace.

 

011:013A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful
spirit concealeth the matter.

 

011:014Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of
counsellors there is safety.

 

011:015He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he
that hateth suretiship is sure.

 

011:016A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain
riches.

 

011:017The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is
cruel troubleth his own flesh.

 

011:018The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth
righteousness shall be a sure reward.

 

011:019As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil
pursueth it to his own death.

 

011:020They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD:
but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

 

011:021Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished:
but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

 

011:022As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman
which is without discretion.

 

011:023The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation
of the wicked is wrath.

 

011:024There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is
that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

 

011:025The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall
be watered also himself.

 

011:026He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but
blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

 

011:027He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that
seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

 

011:028He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous
shall flourish as a branch.

 

011:029He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and
the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

 

011:030The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that
winneth souls is wise.

 

011:031Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much
more the wicked and the sinner.
