Chapter 11

1


 

  A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, But accurate weights are his delight.  

 

 

--

2


 

  When pride comes, then comes shame, But with humility comes wisdom.  

 

 

--

3


 

  The integrity of the upright shall guide them, But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Riches don't profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.  

 

 

--

5


 

  The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.  

 

 

--

6


 

  The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, But the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.  

 

 

--

7


 

  When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, And expectation of power comes to nothing.  

 

 

--

8


 

  The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked takes his place.  

 

 

--

9


 

  With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, But the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.  

 

 

--

10


 

  When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. 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


 

  One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, But a man of understanding holds his peace.  

 

 

--

13


 

  One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, But one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, But in the multitude of counselors there is victory.  

 

 

--

15


 

  He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, But he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.  

 

 

--

16


 

  A gracious woman obtains honor, But violent men obtain riches.  

 

 

--

17


 

  The merciful man does good to his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.  

 

 

--

18


 

  The wicked earns deceitful wages, But he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.  

 

 

--

19


 

  He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, But those whose ways are blameless are his delight.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Most assuredly, the evil man will not be unpunished, But the seed of the righteous will be delivered.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Like a gold ring in a pig's snout, Is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.  

 

 

--

23


 

  The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.  

 

 

--

24


 

  There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.  

 

 

--

25


 

  The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.  

 

 

--

26


 

  He who withholds grain, the people will curse him, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.  

 

 

--

27


 

  He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, But he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.  

 

 

--

28


 

  He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.  

 

 

--

29


 

  He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.  

 

 

--

30


 

  The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.  

 

 

--

31


 

  Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the earth; How much more the wicked and the sinner!
