11:1 Balances
of
deceit
[are]
an
abomination
to
Jehovah,
And
a
perfect
weight
[is]
His
delight.
11:2 Pride
hath
come,
and
shame
cometh,
And
with
the
lowly
[is]
wisdom.
11:3 The
integrity
of
the
upright
leadeth
them,
And
the
perverseness
of
the
treacherous
destroyeth
them.
11:4 Wealth
profiteth
not
in
a
day
of
wrath,
And
righteousness
delivereth
from
death.
11:5 The
righteousness
of
the
perfect
maketh
right
his
way,
And
by
his
wickedness
doth
the
wicked
fall.
11:6 The
righteousness
of
the
upright
delivereth
them,
And
in
mischief
the
treacherous
are
captured.
11:7 In
the
death
of
a
wicked
man,
hope
perisheth,
And
the
expectation
of
the
iniquitous
hath
been
lost.
11:8 The
righteous
from
distress
is
drawn
out,
And
the
wicked
goeth
in
instead
of
him.
11:9 With
the
mouth
a
hypocrite
corrupteth
his
friend,
And
by
knowledge
the
righteous
are
drawn
out.
11:10 In
the
good
of
the
righteous
a
city
exulteth,
And
in
the
destruction
of
the
wicked
[is]
singing.
11:11 By
the
blessing
of
the
upright
is
a
city
exalted,
And
by
the
mouth
of
the
wicked
thrown
down.
11:12 Whoso
is
despising
his
neighbour
lacketh
heart,
And
a
man
of
understanding
keepeth
silence.
11:13 A
busybody
is
revealing
secret
counsel,
And
the
faithful
of
spirit
is
covering
the
matter.
11:14 Without
counsels
do
a
people
fall,
And
deliverance
[is]
in
a
multitude
of
counsellors.
11:15 Evil
[one]
suffereth
when
he
hath
been
surety
[for]
a
stranger,
And
whoso
is
hating
suretyship
is
confident.
11:16 A
gracious
woman
retaineth
honour,
And
terrible
[men]
retain
riches.
11:17 A
kind
man
is
rewarding
his
own
soul,
And
the
fierce
is
troubling
his
own
flesh.
11:18 The
wicked
is
getting
a
lying
wage,
And
whoso
is
sowing
righteousness--a
true
reward.
11:19 Rightly
[is]
righteousness
for
life,
And
whoso
is
pursuing
evil--for
his
own
death.
11:20 An
abomination
to
Jehovah
[are]
the
perverse
of
heart,
And
the
perfect
of
the
way
[are]
His
delight.
11:21 Hand
to
hand,
the
wicked
is
not
acquitted,
And
the
seed
of
the
righteous
hath
escaped.
11:22 A
ring
of
gold
in
the
nose
of
a
sow--A
fair
woman
and
stubborn
of
behaviour.
11:23 The
desire
of
the
righteous
[is]
only
good,
The
hope
of
the
wicked
[is]
transgression.
11:24 There
is
who
is
scattering,
and
yet
is
increased,
And
who
is
keeping
back
from
uprightness,
only
to
want.
11:25 A
liberal
soul
is
made
fat,
And
whoso
is
watering,
he
also
is
watered.
11:26 Whoso
is
withholding
corn,
the
people
execrate
him,
And
a
blessing
[is]
for
the
head
of
him
who
is
selling.
11:27 Whoso
is
earnestly
seeking
good
Seeketh
a
pleasing
thing,
And
whoso
is
seeking
evil--it
meeteth
him.
11:28 Whoso
is
confident
in
his
wealth
he
falleth,
And
as
a
leaf,
the
righteous
flourish.
11:29 Whoso
is
troubling
his
own
house
inheriteth
wind,
And
a
servant
[is]
the
fool
to
the
wise
of
heart.
11:30 The
fruit
of
the
righteous
[is]
a
tree
of
life,
And
whoso
is
taking
souls
[is]
wise.
11:31 Lo,
the
righteous
in
the
earth
is
recompensed,
Surely
also
the
wicked
and
the
sinner!
