Proverbs 11

1 False balances are an abomination before the Lord: but a just weight is acceptable unto him.

Scales of deceit [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh and a weight perfect [is] pleasure his.

2 Wherever pride enters, there will be also disgrace: but the mouth of the lowly meditates wisdom.

It comes pride and it came shame and [is] with modest [people] wisdom.

3 When a just man dies he leaves regret: but the destruction of the ungodly is speedy, and causes joy.

[the] integrity of Upright [people] it guides them and [the] crookedness of treacherous [people] (it destroys them. *Q(K)*)

4 [Possessions will not profit in a day of wrath, but righteousness will deliver from death. ]

Not it profits wealth in [the] day of fury and righteousness it delivers from death.

5 Righteousness traces out blameless paths: but ungodliness encounters unjust dealing.

[the] righteousness of A blameless [person] it makes straight way his and by wickedness his he falls a wicked [person].

6 The righteousness of upright men delivers them: but transgressors are caught in their own destruction.

[the] righteousness of Upright [people] it delivers them and by [the] craving of treacherous [people] they are caught.

7 At the death of a just man his hope does not perish: but the boast of the ungodly perishes.

At [the] death of a person wicked it is lost hope and [the] hope of strength it perishes.

8 A righteous man escapes from a snare, and the ungodly man is delivered up in his place.

A righteous [person] from distress [is] delivered and he came a wicked [person] in place his.

9 In the mouth of ungodly men is a snare to citizens: but the understanding of righteous men is prosperous.

By [the] mouth a godless [person] he ruins neighbor his and by knowledge righteous [people] they are delivered.

10 In the prosperity of righteous men a city prospers: but by the mouth of ungodly men it is overthrown.

In [the] prosperity of righteous [people] it rejoices a town and when perish wicked [people] a shout of joy.

11 [At the blessing of the upright a city shall be exalted. ]

By [the] blessing of upright [people] it is exalted a town and by [the] mouth of wicked [people] it is torn down.

12 A man void of understanding sneers at [his fellow] citizens: but a sensible man is quiet.

[one who] despises Neighbor his [is] lacking of heart and a person of understanding he keeps quiet.

13 A double-tongued man discloses the [secret] counsels of an assembly: but he that is faithful in spirit conceals matters.

[one who] goes about A slanderer [is] revealing a secret and a [person] faithful of spirit [is] concealing a matter.

14 They that have no guidance fall like leaves: but in much counsel there is safety.

When there not [are] wise directions it falls a people and victory [is] in a multitude of counselor[s].

15 A bad man does harm wherever he meets a just man: and he hates the sound of safety.

Harm he is harmed for he stood surety for a stranger and [one who] hates those striking hands [is] secure.

16 A gracious wife brings glory to her husband: but a woman hating righteousness is a theme of dishonour. The slothful come to want: but the diligent support themselves with wealth.

A woman of grace she lays hold of honor and ruthless [people] they take hold of wealth.

17 A merciful man does good to his own soul: but the merciless destroys his own body.

[is] dealing bountifully with Self his a person of loyalty and [is] troubling body his a cruel [person].

18 An ungodly man performs unrighteous works: but the seed of the righteous is a reward of truth.

A wicked [person] [is] making wage[s] of falsehood and [one who] sows righteousness wage[s] of truth.

19 A righteous son is born for life: but the persecution of the ungodly [ends] in death.

True righteousness [is] to life and [one who] pursues evil [is] to own death his.

20 Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: but all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him.

[are] [the] abomination of Yahweh perverse [people] of heart and [are] pleasure his [people] blameless of way.

21 He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: but he that sows righteousness he shall receive a faithful reward.

Hand to hand not he will go unpunished an evil [person] and [the] offspring of righteous [people] he will be delivered.

22 As an ornament in a swine's snout, so is beauty to an ill-minded women.

A ring of gold in [the] nose of a pig a woman beautiful and [who] turns aside from discernment.

23 All the desire of the righteous is good: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

[the] desire of Righteous [people] only [is] good [the] hope of wicked [people] [is] fury.

24 There are [some] who scatter their own, and make it more: and there are [some] also who gather, [yet] have less.

There [is one who] scatters and [who is] increased still and [one who] withholds from uprightness only to poverty.

25 Every sincere soul is blessed: but a passionate man is not graceful.

A person of blessing he will be made fat and [one who] gives water also he he will be given water.

26 May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: but blessing be on the head of him that gives [it].

[one who] withholds Grain they curse him a people and a blessing [belongs] to [the] head of [one who] sells grain.

27 He that devises good [counsels] seeks good favour: but [as for] him that seeks after evil, [evil] shall overtake him.

[one who] seeks diligently Good he seeks favor and [one who] seeks carefully evil it will come to him.

28 He that trusts in wealth shall fall; but he that helps righteous men shall rise.

[one who] trusts In wealth his he he will fall and like leaf righteous [people] they will bud.

29 He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise man.

[one who] troubles Household his he will inherit wind and [will be] a servant a fool of [the] wise of heart.

30 Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; but the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time.

[the] fruit of [the] righteous [is] a tree of Life and [one who] takes people [is] wise.

31 If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

There! a righteous [person] on the earth he is rewarded indeed? for a wicked [person] and a sinner.
