11:1  Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
But a just weight is His delight.

11:2  When pride comes, then comes shame;
But with the humble is wisdom.

11:3  The integrity of the upright will guide them,
But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.

11:4  Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But righteousness delivers from death.

11:5  The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright,
But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

11:6  The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.

11:7  When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish,
And the hope of the unjust perishes.

11:8  The righteous is delivered from trouble,
And it comes to the wicked instead.

11:9  The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.

11:10  When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices;
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.

11:11  By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted,
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

11:12  He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor,
But a man of understanding holds his peace.

11:13  A talebearer reveals secrets,
But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.

11:14  Where there is no counsel, the people fall;
But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

11:15  He who is surety for a stranger will suffer,
But one who hates being surety is secure.

11:16  A gracious woman retains honor,
But ruthless men retain riches.

11:17  The merciful man does good for his own soul,
But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.

11:18  The wicked man does deceptive work,
But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward.

11:19  As righteousness leads to life,
So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.

11:20  Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the LORD,
But the blameless in their ways are His delight.

11:21  Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished;
But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.

11:22  As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion.

11:23  The desire of the righteous is only good,
But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

11:24  There is one who scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.

11:25  The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.

11:26  The people will curse him who withholds grain,
But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

11:27  He who earnestly seeks good finds favor,
But trouble will come to him who seeks evil.

11:28  He who trusts in his riches will fall,
But the righteous will flourish like foliage.

11:29  He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind,
And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

11:30  The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
And he who wins souls is wise.

11:31  If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth,
How much more the ungodly and the sinner.
