Proverbs 11
1 A false balance is abomination to Yhwh: but a just weight is his delight.
Bawipa ing amak thyym cawi tahnak ce tuih nawh ak thyym cawi tahnaak ce ym hy.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Ak thyymna khaw amak saa thlang taw a thihawh ang ngaih-uunaak awm boet pahoei nawh, ak thamahnaak ingkaw ang ngaih-uunaakkhqi boeih awm qeeng kaw.
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Khawsa amak siim thlang am khaa ing a imceng lovai hqee nawh, thlakdyng ingtaw ak leek khawpoeknaak ing loet sak hy.
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
Thlakdyngkhqi khawsak a vaanawh a tui a khaw ing awmhly nawh, thlakche a thihawh awmhlynaak ing thlakkhqi khyy uhy.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
