PR-11:1  A false balance [is] abomination to the LORD: but a

just weight [is]

his delight.

PR-11:2  [When] pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the

lowly [is]

wisdom.

PR-11:3  The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the

perverseness

of transgressors shall destroy them.

PR-11:4  Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but

righteousness delivereth

from death.

PR-11:5  The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way:

but the wicked

shall fall by his own wickedness.

PR-11:6  The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but

transgressors shall be taken in [their own] naughtiness.

PR-11:7  When a wicked man dieth, [his] expectation shall perish:

 and the hope

of unjust [men] perisheth.

PR-11:8  The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the

wicked cometh in

his stead.

PR-11:9  An hypocrite with [his] mouth destroyeth his neighbour:

but through

knowledge shall the just be delivered.

PR-11:10  When it goeth well with the righteous, the city

rejoiceth: and when

the wicked perish, [there is] shouting.

PR-11:11  By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted:

but it is

overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

PR-11:12  He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but

a man of

understanding holdeth his peace.

PR-11:13  A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a

faithful spirit

concealeth the matter.

PR-11:14  Where no counsel [is], the people fall: but in the

multitude of

counsellors [there is] safety.

PR-11:15  He that is surety for a stranger shall smart [for it]:

and he that

hateth suretiship is sure.

PR-11:16  A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong [men]

retain riches.

PR-11:17  The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but [he

that is] cruel

troubleth his own flesh.

PR-11:18  The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that

soweth

righteousness [shall be] a sure reward.

PR-11:19  As righteousness [tendeth] to life: so he that

pursueth evil

[pursueth it] to his own death.

PR-11:20  They that are of a froward heart [are] abomination to

the LORD: but

[such as are] upright in [their] way [are] his delight.

PR-11:21  [Though] hand [join] in hand, the wicked shall not be

unpunished:

but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

PR-11:22  [As] a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, [so is] a

fair woman which

is without discretion.

PR-11:23  The desire of the righteous [is] only good: [but] the

expectation of

the wicked [is] wrath.

PR-11:24  There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and

[there is] that

withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty.

PR-11:25  The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that

watereth shall be

watered also himself.

PR-11:26  He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him:

but blessing

[shall be] upon the head of him that selleth [it].

PR-11:27  He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but

he that

seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

PR-11:28  He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the

righteous shall

flourish as a branch.

PR-11:29  He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind:

 and the fool

[shall be] servant to the wise of heart.

PR-11:30  The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he

that winneth

souls [is] wise.

PR-11:31  Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the

earth: much more

the wicked and the sinner.
