< Proverbs 11 >

1 Scales of deceit [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh and a weight perfect [is] pleasure his.
Balances of deceit are an abomination of the Lord; but a full weight [obtaineth] his favor.
2 It comes pride and it came shame and [is] with modest [people] wisdom.
When pride cometh, then cometh disgrace; but with the modest there is wisdom.
3 [the] integrity of Upright [people] it guides them and [the] crookedness of treacherous [people] (it destroys them. *Q(K)*)
The integrity of the upright guideth them; but the cunning of the treacherous destroyeth them.
4 Not it profits wealth in [the] day of fury and righteousness it delivers from death.
Wealth cannot profit on the day of wrath; but righteousness 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 righteousness of the perfect maketh even his way; but by his own wickedness will the wicked fall.
6 [the] righteousness of Upright [people] it delivers them and by [the] craving of treacherous [people] they are caught.
The righteousness of the upright will deliver them; but through their own sinful desires are the treacherous caught.
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] hope vanisheth; and the expectation of his children is lost.
8 A righteous [person] from distress [is] delivered and he came a wicked [person] in place his.
The righteous is delivered out of distress, 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 doth the hypocrite destroy his neighbor; but through knowledge are the righteous 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 town rejoiceth loudly: and when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.
11 By [the] blessing of upright [people] it is exalted a town and by [the] mouth of wicked [people] it is torn down.
Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but through the mouth of the wicked it is pulled down.
12 [one who] despises Neighbor his [is] lacking of heart and a person of understanding he keeps quiet.
He that despiseth his neighbor is void of sense; but a man of understanding maintaineth silence.
13 [one who] goes about A slanderer [is] revealing a secret and a [person] faithful of spirit [is] concealing a matter.
He that walketh about as talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14 When there not [are] wise directions it falls a people and victory [is] in a multitude of counselor[s].
Where there is no wise guidance, a people must fall: but [it will obtain] help through the multitude of counsellors.
15 Harm he is harmed for he stood surety for a stranger and [one who] hates those striking hands [is] secure.
With evil will he be overwhelmed that is surety for a stranger: but he that hateth giving the hand as pledge is safe.
16 A woman of grace she lays hold of honor and ruthless [people] they take hold of wealth.
A woman endowed with grace will surely obtain honor; and the powerful will obtain riches.
17 [is] dealing bountifully with Self his a person of loyalty and [is] troubling body his a cruel [person].
The man of kindness doth good to his own soul; but he that troubleth his own flesh is cruel.
18 A wicked [person] [is] making wage[s] of falsehood and [one who] sows righteousness wage[s] of truth.
The wicked practiseth a work of falsehood; but he that soweth righteousness [obtaineth] the reward of truth.
19 True righteousness [is] to life and [one who] pursues evil [is] to own death his.
He who is firm in righteousness attaineth to life: and he that pursueth evil [doth it] to his own death.
20 [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh perverse [people] of heart and [are] pleasure his [people] blameless of way.
An abomination of the Lord are those of a perverse heart; but his favor is for those who are unblemished in their way.
21 Hand to hand not he will go unpunished an evil [person] and [the] offspring of righteous [people] he will be delivered.
The hand [of God] being against [his] hand, the bad man shall not go 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 golden ring in a swine's snout, so is a handsome woman that hath thrown off 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 hope of the wicked is the wrath [of God].
24 There [is one who] scatters and [who is] increased still and [one who] withholds from uprightness only to poverty.
There is a man that scattereth gifts, and yet his wealth is increased: and there is one that withholdeth more than is proper, and still cometh 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.
A beneficent soul will be abundantly gratified; and he that refresheth [others] will be also refreshed himself.
26 [one who] withholds Grain they curse him a people and a blessing [belongs] to [the] head of [one who] sells grain.
Him that withholdeth corn, the people will denounce; but blessing will be heaped upon the head of the one 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 searcheth after good seeketh favor; but if one inquireth after evil, it will 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 will surely fall; but the righteous shall grow like the leaves [of a tree].
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 will inherit the wind; and the fool will become the 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 of the tree of life, and the wise draweth souls to himself.
31 There! a righteous [person] on the earth he is rewarded indeed? for a wicked [person] and a sinner.
Behold, the righteous is recompensed on the earth: how much more the wicked and the sinner.
