Proverbs:11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
False scales are an abomination to the LORD ;
But a perfect weight is his delight .
*
When pride cometh ,
then cometh disgrace ;
But with the humble is wisdom .
*
The integrity of the upright shall guide them ;
But the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them .
*
Riches do not profit in the day of wrath ;
But righteousness delivereth from death .
*
The righteousness of the good man maketh his way plain ;
But the wicked falleth through his wickedness .
*
The righteousness of the upright delivereth them ;
But transgressors are ensnared in their own mischief .
*
When the wicked man dieth ,
his hope cometh to an end ;
Yea ,
the expectation of the unjust cometh to an end .
*
The righteous man is delivered from trouble ,
And the wicked cometh into it in his stead .
*
By his mouth the vile man destroyeth his neighbor ;
But by the knowledge of the righteous are men delivered .
*
When it goeth well with the righteous ,
the city rejoiceth ;
And when the wicked perish ,
there is shouting .
*
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted ;
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked .
*
He who despiseth his neighbor is void of understanding ;
A man of discernment holdeth his peace .
*
He who goeth about as a tale
bearer revealeth secrets ;
But he who is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter .
*
Where there is no counsel ,
the people fall ;
But in a multitude of counsellors there is safety .
*
He that is surety for another shall smart for it ;
But he that hateth suretyship is sure .
*
A graceful woman obtaineth honor ,
Even as strong men obtain riches .
*
He that doeth good to himself is a man of kindness ;
But he that tormenteth his own flesh is cruel .
*
The wicked toileth for deceitful wages ;
But he who soweth righteousness shall have a sure reward .
*
As righteousness tendeth to life ,
So he who pursueth evil pursueth it to his death .
*
The perverse in heart are the abomination of the LORD ;
But the upright in their way are his delight .
*
From generation to generation the wicked shall not go unpunished ;
But the posterity of the righteous shall be delivered .
*
As a jewel of gold in a swine
s snout ,
So is a beautiful woman who is without discretion .
*
The desire of the righteous is only good ;
But the expectation of the wicked is wrath .
*
There is that scattereth ,
and yet increaseth ;
And there is that withholdeth more than is right ,
yet he cometh to want .
*
The bountiful man shall be enriched ,
And he that watereth shall himself be watered .
*
Him that keepeth back corn the people curse ;
But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it .
*
He ,
who earnestly seeketh good ,
seeketh favor ;
But he that seeketh mischief ,
it shall come upon him .
*
He who trusteth in his riches shall fall ;
But the righteous shall flourish as a leaf .
*
He that harasseth his household shall inherit wind ;
And the fool shall be the servant of the wise .
*
The fruit of a righteous man is a tree of life ;
And the wise man winneth souls .
*
Behold ,
the righteous man is requited on the earth ;
Much more the wicked man and the sinner !
