Proverbs 11
1 Yahweh detests [people who use] scales that do not weigh correctly; he is delighted with [those who use] correct weights on the scales.
Лажна су мерила мрска Господу, а права мера угодна Му је.
2 [People who are] proud will [eventually] be disgraced; it is wise to be humble.
Кад дође охолост, дође и срамота; а у смерних је мудрост.
3 [People who are] good are guided by [doing what is] honest; those who are not honest will be ruined because of the wrong things that they do.
Праведне води безазленост њихова, а безаконике сатире злоћа њихова.

Неће помоћи богатство у дан гнева, а правда избавља од смрти.
5 When people are honest and good, that will (direct their paths/show them what is right for them to do); but wicked [people will] experience disasters because of the evil things that they do.
Правда безазленога управља пут његов, а безбожник пада од своје безбожности.
6 [God] rescues/protects righteous [people] because they (are honest/do what is right), but those who (are treacherous/cannot be trusted) will be trapped because of their being greedy.
Праведне избавља правда њихова, а безаконици хватају се у својој злоћи.
7 When wicked [people] die, they cannot confidently expect to receive anything [that is good]; they expect that [their money] will help/save them, but it will not.

8 [Yahweh] rescues righteous [people] from their troubles/difficulties; instead, it is the wicked who will have troubles.

9 Godless people can ruin others by what they say [MTY], but righteous [people will] be saved by [their (own] good sense/being wise).
Лицемер квари устима ближњег свог; али се праведници избављају знањем.
10 When things go well for righteous [people], [the people in] [MTY] their city are happy, and they shout joyfully when wicked [people] die.

17 Those who are kind benefit themselves [because others will be kind to them], but those who are cruel will hurt themselves [because others will be cruel to them].
Милостив човек чини добро души својој, а немилостив уди свом телу.
18 If wicked people earn a lot of money, that will deceive them [because they will not keep it for very long], but those who do what is right will surely be rewarded [by God forever].
Безбожни ради посао преваран; а ко сеје правду, поуздана му је плата.
19 Those who always do what is right will live [a long/happy life], but those who insist on doing what is wrong will not live [very long].
