Proverbs 11
1 Scales of deceit [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh and a weight perfect [is] pleasure his.
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD; but a perfect weight is His delight.
2 It comes pride and it came shame and [is] with modest [people] wisdom.
When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.
3 [the] integrity of Upright [people] it guides them and [the] crookedness of treacherous [people] (it destroys them. *QK)
The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them.
4 Not it profits wealth in [the] day of fury and righteousness it delivers from death.
Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.
5 [the] righteousness of A blameless [person] it makes straight way his and by wickedness his he falls a wicked [person].
The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 [the] righteousness of Upright [people] it delivers them and by [the] craving of treacherous [people] they are caught.
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.
7 At [the] death of a person wicked it is lost hope and [the] hope of strength it perishes.
When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth.
8 A righteous [person] from distress [is] delivered and he came a wicked [person] in place his.
The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9 By [the] mouth a godless [person] he ruins neighbor his and by knowledge righteous [people] they are delivered.
With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
10 In [the] prosperity of righteous [people] it rejoices a town and when perish wicked [people] a shout of joy.
When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy.
11 By [the] blessing of upright [people] it is exalted a town and by [the] mouth of wicked [people] it is torn down.
By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 [one who] despises Neighbor his [is] lacking of heart and a person of understanding he keeps quiet.
He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace.
13 [one who] goes about A slanderer [is] revealing a secret and a [person] faithful of spirit [is] concealing a matter.
He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
14 When there not [are] wise directions it falls a people and victory [is] in a multitude of counselor[s].
Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15 Harm he is harmed for he stood surety for a stranger and [one who] hates those striking hands [is] secure.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure.
16 A woman of grace she lays hold of honor and ruthless [people] they take hold of wealth.
A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches.
17 [is] dealing bountifully with Self his a person of loyalty and [is] troubling body his a cruel [person].
The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18 A wicked [person] [is] making wage[s] of falsehood and [one who] sows righteousness wage[s] of truth.
The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
19 True righteousness [is] to life and [one who] pursues evil [is] to own death his.
Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20 [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh perverse [people] of heart and [are] pleasure his [people] blameless of way.
They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD; but such as are upright in their way are His delight.
21 Hand to hand not he will go unpunished an evil [person] and [the] offspring of righteous [people] he will be delivered.
My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.
22 A ring of gold in [the] nose of a pig a woman beautiful and [who] turns aside from discernment.
As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion.
23 [the] desire of Righteous [people] only [is] good [the] hope of wicked [people] [is] fury.
The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 There [is one who] scatters and [who is] increased still and [one who] withholds from uprightness only to poverty.
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
25 A person of blessing he will be made fat and [one who] gives water also he he will be given water.
The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself.
26 [one who] withholds Grain they curse him a people and a blessing [belongs] to [the] head of [one who] sells grain.
He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27 [one who] seeks diligently Good he seeks favor and [one who] seeks carefully evil it will come to him.
He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him.
28 [one who] trusts In wealth his he he will fall and like leaf righteous [people] they will bud.
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage.
29 [one who] troubles Household his he will inherit wind and [will be] a servant a fool of [the] wise of heart.
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30 [the] fruit of [the] righteous [is] a tree of Life and [one who] takes people [is] wise.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.
31 There! a righteous [person] on the earth he is rewarded indeed? for a wicked [person] and a sinner.
Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
