< Proverbs 11 >
1 Scales of deceit [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh and a weight perfect [is] pleasure his.
A deceitful balance is an abomination before the Lord: and a just weight is his will.
2 It comes pride and it came shame and [is] with modest [people] wisdom.
Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom.
3 [the] integrity of Upright [people] it guides them and [the] crookedness of treacherous [people] (it destroys them. *Q(K)*)
The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them.
4 Not it profits wealth in [the] day of fury and righteousness it delivers from death.
Riches shall not profit in the day of revenge: but justice shall deliver from death.
5 [the] righteousness of A blameless [person] it makes straight way his and by wickedness his he falls a wicked [person].
The justice of the upright shall make his way prosperous: and the wicked man 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 justice of the righteous shall deliver them: and the unjust shall be caught in their own snares.
7 At [the] death of a person wicked it is lost hope and [the] hope of strength it perishes.
When the wicked man is dead, there shall be no hope any more: and the expectation of the solicitous shall perish.
8 A righteous [person] from distress [is] delivered and he came a wicked [person] in place his.
The just is delivered out of distress: and the wicked shall be given up for him.
9 By [the] mouth a godless [person] he ruins neighbor his and by knowledge righteous [people] they are delivered.
The dissembler with his mouth deceiveth his friend: but the just shall be delivered by knowledge.
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 just the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish there shall be praise.
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 just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown.
12 [one who] despises Neighbor his [is] lacking of heart and a person of understanding he keeps quiet.
He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold 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 walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.
14 When there not [are] wise directions it falls a people and victory [is] in a multitude of counselor[s].
Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.
15 Harm he is harmed for he stood surety for a stranger and [one who] hates those striking hands [is] secure.
He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.
16 A woman of grace she lays hold of honor and ruthless [people] they take hold of wealth.
A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.
17 [is] dealing bountifully with Self his a person of loyalty and [is] troubling body his a cruel [person].
A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.
18 A wicked [person] [is] making wage[s] of falsehood and [one who] sows righteousness wage[s] of truth.
The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.
19 True righteousness [is] to life and [one who] pursues evil [is] to own death his.
Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.
20 [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh perverse [people] of heart and [are] pleasure his [people] blameless of way.
A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
21 Hand to hand not he will go unpunished an evil [person] and [the] offspring of righteous [people] he will be delivered.
Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.
22 A ring of gold in [the] nose of a pig a woman beautiful and [who] turns aside from discernment.
A golden ring in a swine’s snout, a woman fair and foolish.
23 [the] desire of Righteous [people] only [is] good [the] hope of wicked [people] [is] fury.
The desire of the just is all good: the expectation of the wicked is indignation.
24 There [is one who] scatters and [who is] increased still and [one who] withholds from uprightness only to poverty.
Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.
25 A person of blessing he will be made fat and [one who] gives water also he he will be given water.
The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated 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 hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell.
27 [one who] seeks diligently Good he seeks favor and [one who] seeks carefully evil it will come to him.
Well doth he rise early who seeketh good things; but he that seeketh after evil things shall be oppressed by them.
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 just shall spring up as a green leaf.
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 winds: and the fool shall serve the wise.
30 [the] fruit of [the] righteous [is] a tree of Life and [one who] takes people [is] wise.
The fruit of the just man is a tree of life: and he that gaineth souls, is wise.
31 There! a righteous [person] on the earth he is rewarded indeed? for a wicked [person] and a sinner.
If the just man receive in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner.
