by emmanuel_higgins

:

Proverbs 11:1
chevron_left
chevron_right
A false balance
is
abomination to the
L
ORD
: but a just weight
is
his delight.
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 counsellors
there is
safety.
15
He that is surety for a stranger 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.
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
L
ORD
: 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.
31
Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
