Proverbs:11-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A false balance is abomination to the LORD :
but a just weight is his delight .
*
When pride cometh ,
then cometh shame :
but with the lowly is wisdom .
*
The integrity of the upright shall guide them :
but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them .
*
Riches profit not in the day of wrath :
but righteousness delivereth from death .
*
The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way :
but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness .
*
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them :
but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness .
*
When a wicked man dieth ,
his expectation shall perish :
and the hope of unjust men perisheth .
*
The righteous is delivered out of trouble ,
and the wicked cometh in his stead .
*
An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour :
but through knowledge shall the just be 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 that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour :
but a man of understanding holdeth his peace .
*
A talebearer revealeth secrets :
but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter .
*
Where no counsel is ,
the people fall :
but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety .
*
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it :
and he that hateth suretiship is sure .
*
A gracious woman retaineth honour :
and strong men retain riches .
*
The merciful man doeth good to his own soul :
but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh .
*
The wicked worketh a deceitful work :
but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward .
*
As righteousness tendeth to life :
so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death .
*
They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD :
but such as are upright in their way are his delight .
*
Though hand join in hand ,
the wicked shall not be unpunished :
but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered .
*
As a jewel of gold in a swine '
s snout ,
so is a fair woman which 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 meet ,
but it tendeth to poverty .
*
The liberal soul shall be made fat :
and he that watereth shall be watered also himself .
*
He that withholdeth corn ,
the people shall curse him :
but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it .
*
He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour :
but he that seeketh mischief ,
it shall come unto him .
*
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall :
but the righteous shall flourish as a branch .
*
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind :
and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart .
*
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life ;
and he that winneth souls is wise .
*
Behold ,
the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth :
much more the wicked and the sinner .
*
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge :
but he that hateth reproof is brutish .
*
A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD :
but a man of wicked devices will he condemn .
*
A man shall not be established by wickedness :
but the root of the righteous shall not be moved .
*
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband :
but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones .
*
The thoughts of the righteous are right :
but the counsels of the wicked are deceit .
*
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood :
but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them .
*
The wicked are overthrown ,
and are not :
but the house of the righteous shall stand .
*
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom :
but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised .
*
He that is despised ,
and hath a servant ,
is better than he that honoureth himself ,
and lacketh bread .
*
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast :
but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel .
*
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread :
but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding .
*
The wicked desireth the net of evil men :
but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit .
*
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips :
but the just shall come out of trouble .
*
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth :
and the recompence of a man '
s hands shall be rendered unto him .
*
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes :
but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise .
*
A fool '
s wrath is presently known :
but a prudent man covereth shame .
*
He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness :
but a false witness deceit .
*
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword :
but the tongue of the wise is health .
*
The lip of truth shall be established for ever :
but a lying tongue is but for a moment .
*
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil :
but to the counsellors of peace is joy .
*
There shall no evil happen to the just :
but the wicked shall be filled with mischief .
*
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD :
but they that deal truly are his delight .
*
A prudent man concealeth knowledge :
but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness .
*
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule :
but the slothful shall be under tribute .
*
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop :
but a good word maketh it glad .
*
The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour :
but the way of the wicked seduceth them .
*
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting :
but the substance of a diligent man is precious .
*
In the way of righteousness is life ;
and in the pathway thereof there is no death .
*
A wise son heareth his father '
s instruction :
but a scorner heareth not rebuke .
*
A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth :
but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence .
*
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life :
but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction .
*
The soul of the sluggard desireth ,
and hath nothing :
but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat .
*
A righteous man hateth lying :
but a wicked man is loathsome ,
and cometh to shame .
*
Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way :
but wickedness overthroweth the sinner .
*
There is that maketh himself rich ,
yet hath nothing :
there is that maketh himself poor ,
yet hath great riches .
*
The ransom of a man '
s life are his riches :
but the poor heareth not rebuke .
*
The light of the righteous rejoiceth :
but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out .
*
Only by pride cometh contention :
but with the well advised is wisdom .
*
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished :
but he that gathereth by labour shall increase .
*
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick :
but when the desire cometh ,
it is a tree of life .
*
Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed :
but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded .
*
The law of the wise is a fountain of life ,
to depart from the snares of death .
*
Good understanding giveth favour :
but the way of transgressors is hard .
*
Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge :
but a fool layeth open his folly .
*
A wicked messenger falleth into mischief :
but a faithful ambassador is health .
*
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction :
but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured .
*
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul :
but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil .
*
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise :
but a companion of fools shall be destroyed .
*
Evil pursueth sinners :
but to the righteous good shall be repayed .
*
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children '
s children :
and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just .
*
Much food is in the tillage of the poor :
but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment .
*
He that spareth his rod hateth his son :
but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes .
*
The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul :
but the belly of the wicked shall want .
*
Every wise woman buildeth her house :
but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands .
