engojps: Proverbs 11

=> Chapters

 [1] A false balance is an abomination to the LORD; but a perfect 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 the faithless shall destroy them.  [4] Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.  [5] The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.  [6] The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.  [7] When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth.  [8] The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.  [9] With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.  [10] When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy.  [11] By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.  [12] He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace.  [13] He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.  [14] Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.  [15] He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure.  [16] A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches.  [17] The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.  [18] The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.  [19] Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.  [20] They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD; but such as are upright in their way are His delight.  [21] My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.  [22] As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from 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 only to want.  [25] The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied 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 seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him.  [28] He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage.  [29] He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.  [30] The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.  [31] Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
