Proverbs Chapter[BR] 11

1 False balances are an abomination before the Lord: but a just weight is acceptable unto him. 2 Wherever pride enters, there will be also disgrace: but the mouth of the lowly meditates wisdom. 3 *Alex. The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the overthrow of the rebellious shall spoil them. When a just man dies he Comp. Heb. leaves regret: but the destruction of the ungodly is speedy, and causes joy. 4 *Possessions will not profit in a day of wrath, but righteousness will deliver from death. 5 Righteousness *Gr. rightly divides; See 2 Ti 2:15 traces out blameless paths: but ungodliness encounters unjust dealing. 6 The righteousness of upright men delivers them: but transgressors are caught in their own destruction. 7 At the death of a just man his hope does not perish: but the boast of the ungodly perishes. 8 A righteous man escapes from a snare, and the ungodly man is delivered up in his place. 9 In the mouth of ungodly men is a snare to citizens: but the understanding of righteous men is prosperous. 10 In the prosperity of righteous men a city prospers: *Alex. but at the destruction of the wicked there is exultation. 11 *At the blessing of the upright a city shall be exalted; (11:10AA) but by the mouth of ungodly men it is overthrown. 12 A man void of understanding sneers at his fellow citizens: but a sensible man is quiet. 13 A double-tongued man discloses the secret counsels of an assembly: but he that is *See Pr 20:27 faithful in spirit conceals matters. 14 They that have no *Or, governance guidance fall like leaves: but in much counsel there is safety. 15 A bad man does harm wherever he meets a just man: and he hates the sound of safety. 16 A gracious wife *Gr. raises brings glory to her husband: but a woman hating righteousness is a theme of dishonour. The slothful come to want: but the Gr. manly diligent support themselves with wealth. 17 A merciful man does good to his own soul: but the merciless destroys his own body. 18 An ungodly man performs unrighteous works: but the seed of the righteous is a reward of truth. 19 A righteous son is born for life: but the persecution of the ungodly ends in death. 20 Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: but all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him. 21 He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: but he that sows righteousness he shall receive a faithful reward. 22 As an ornament in a swine’s snout, so is beauty to an ill-minded women. 23 All the desire of the righteous is good: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish. 24 There are some who scatter their own, and make it more: and there are some also who gather, yet *Gr. are diminished have less. 25 Every sincere soul is blessed: but a passionate man is not graceful. 26 May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: but blessing be on the head of him that gives it. 27 He that devises good counsels seeks good favour: but as for him that seeks after evil, evil shall overtake him. 28 He that trusts in wealth shall fall; but he that helps righteous men shall *See 1 Ti 5:8 rise. 29 He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise man. 30 Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; but the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time. 31 *See 1 Pe 4:18 If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1. False balances are an abomination before the Lord: but a just weight is acceptable unto him. 2. Wherever pride enters, there will be also disgrace: but the mouth of the lowly meditates wisdom. 3. [Alex. The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the overthrow of the rebellious shall spoil them.] When a just man dies he [Comp. Heb.] leaves regret: but the destruction of the ungodly is speedy, and causes joy. 4. [Possessions will not profit in a day of wrath, but righteousness will deliver from death.] 5. Righteousness [Gr. rightly divides; See 2 Ti 2:15] traces out blameless paths: but ungodliness encounters unjust dealing. 6. The righteousness of upright men delivers them: but transgressors are caught in their own destruction. 7. At the death of a just man his hope does not perish: but the boast of the ungodly perishes. 8. A righteous man escapes from a snare, and the ungodly man is delivered up in his place. 9. In the mouth of ungodly men is a snare to citizens: but the understanding of righteous men is prosperous. 10. In the prosperity of righteous men a city prospers: [Alex. but at the destruction of the wicked there is exultation.] 11. [At the blessing of the upright a city shall be exalted;] [(11:10AA)] but by the mouth of ungodly men it is overthrown. 12. A man void of understanding sneers at his fellow citizens: but a sensible man is quiet. 13. A double-tongued man discloses the secret counsels of an assembly: but he that is [See Pr 20:27] faithful in spirit conceals matters. 14. They that have no [Or, governance] guidance fall like leaves: but in much counsel there is safety. 15. A bad man does harm wherever he meets a just man: and he hates the sound of safety. 16. A gracious wife [Gr. raises] brings glory to her husband: but a woman hating righteousness is a theme of dishonour. The slothful come to want: but the [Gr. manly] diligent support themselves with wealth. 17. A merciful man does good to his own soul: but the merciless destroys his own body. 18. An ungodly man performs unrighteous works: but the seed of the righteous is a reward of truth. 19. A righteous son is born for life: but the persecution of the ungodly ends in death. 20. Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: but all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him. 21. He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: but he that sows righteousness he shall receive a faithful reward. 22. As an ornament in a swine’s snout, so is beauty to an ill-minded women. 23. All the desire of the righteous is good: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish. 24. There are some who scatter their own, and make it more: and there are some also who gather, yet [Gr. are diminished] have less. 25. Every sincere soul is blessed: but a passionate man is not graceful. 26. May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: but blessing be on the head of him that gives it. 27. He that devises good counsels seeks good favour: but as for him that seeks after evil, evil shall overtake him. 28. He that trusts in wealth shall fall; but he that helps righteous men shall [See 1 Ti 5:8] rise. 29. He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise man. 30. Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; but the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time. 31. [See 1 Pe 4:18] If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
