Proverbs:11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A deceptive balance ,
is an abomination to Yahweh ,
but ,
a full weight ,
is his delight .
*
When pride cometh ,
then cometh contempt ,
but ,
with the modest ,
is wisdom .
*
The integrity of the upright ,
shall guide them ,
but ,
the crookedness of the treacherous ,
shall be their ruin .
*
Wealth ,
shall not profit ,
in the day of wrath ,
but ,
righteousness ,
shall deliver from death .
*
The righteousness of the blameless ,
shall smooth his way ,
but ,
by his own lawlessness ,
shall the lawless one ,
fall .
*
The righteousness of the upright ,
shall deliver them ,
but ,
by their own craving ,
shall the treacherous be captured .
*
When the lawless man dieth ,
his expectation ,
perisheth ,
and ,
the hope of strong men ,
hath vanished .
*
The righteous man ,
out of distress ,
is delivered ,
then cometh a lawless man into his place .
*
With the mouth ,
a profane man destroyeth his neighbour ,
but ,
through knowledge ,
shall righteous men be delivered .
*
When it is ,
well with the righteous ,
the city ,
exulteth ,
When the lawless perish ,
there is a shout of triumph .
*
When the upright are blessed ,
exalted is the city ,
but ,
by the mouth of the lawless ,
it is overthrown .
*
He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour ,
lacketh sense ,
but ,
a man of understanding ,
observeth silence .
*
He that goeth about talebearing ,
revealeth a secret ,
but ,
he that is faithful in spirit ,
concealeth a matter .
*
With no guidance ,
a people will fall ,
but ,
safety ,
lieth in the greatness of the counsellor .
*
He that becometh surety for a stranger ,
goeth to utter ruin ,
but ,
he that hateth striking hands ,
is secure .
*
A gracious wife ,
obtaineth honour ,
but ,
the diligent ,
shall obtain wealth .
*
The man of lovingkindness ,
dealeth well with his own soul ,
but the cruel man ,
troubleth his own flesh .
*
The lawless man ,
earneth the wages of falsehood ,
but ,
he that soweth righteousness ,
hath the reward of fidelity .
*
A righteous son ,
*
The abomination of Yahweh ,
are they of perverse heart ,
but ,
his delight ,
are the men of blameless life .
*
Hand to hand ,
the wicked man shall not be held innocent ,
but ,
the seed of the righteous ,
hath been delivered .
*
As a ring of gold in the snout of a swine ,
is a woman of beauty who hath abandoned discretion .
*
The desire of the righteous ,
is only good ,
the expectation of the lawless ,
is wrath .
*
There is who scattereth ,
and increaseth yet more ,
and who withholdeth of what is due ,
only to come to want .
*
The liberal soul ,
shall he enriched ,
and ,
he that refresheth ,
shall himself also be refreshed .
*
He that keepeth back corn ,
the populace will curse him ,
but there is ,
a blessing ,
for the head of him that selleth .
*
He that diligently seeketh good ,
aimeth at favour ,
but ,
he that studieth mischief ,
it shall come on himself .
*
He that trusteth in his riches ,
the same ,
shall fall ,
but ,
like the leaf ,
shall the righteous break forth .
*
He that troubleth his own house ,
shall inherit the wind ,
but ,
a servant ,
shall the foolish be ,
to the wise in heart .
*
The fruit of the righteous ,
is a tree of life ,
and ,
he that rescueth souls ,
is wise .
*
Lo !
the righteous ,
in the earth shall be recompensed ,
how much more the lawless and the sinner .
