Példabeszédek 11
1 Csalárd mérleg utálata az Örökkévalónak, de teljes súlykő kedvére van.
Yahweh detests [people who use] scales that do not weigh correctly; he is delighted with [those who use] correct weights on the scales.
2 Jött a kevélység és jött a szégyen is; de a szerényeknél bölcsesség van.
[People who are] proud will [eventually] be disgraced; it is wise to be humble.
3 Az egyenesek gáncstalansága vezeti őket, de a hűtlenkedők ferdesége elpusztítja őket.
[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.
4 Nem használ a vagyon a haragnak napján, de az igazság megment a haláltól.
[Your] money will not help [you] on the day that [God] judges [and punishes people]; but if you live righteously, you will live a long time.
5 A gáncstalannak igazsága egyenessé teszi útját, de gonoszsága által elesik a gonosz.
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.
6 Az egyenesek igazsága megmenti őket, de vágyuk által megfogatnak a hűtlenkedők.

7 Gonosz ember halálával elvész a remény, s a jogtalanság várakozása elveszett.

10 Mikor jó dolguk van az igazaknak, vigad a város, s mikor elvesznek a gonoszok, ujjongás van.
When things go well for righteous [people], [the people in] [MTY] their city are happy, and they shout joyfully when wicked [people] die.
11 Az egyenesek áldása által emelkedik a város, de a gonoszok szája által leromboltatik.

18 gonosz hazug munkabért szerez, de a ki igazságot vet, igaz jutalmat.

24 Van, a ki szór és még gyarapszik, de a ki megvon attól, a mi illő – csak szűkölködésre teszi.

30 Az igaznak gyümölcse életnek fája, és lelkeket nyer meg a bölcs.
Those who live righteously will live [for a long time], but [those who act] violently will destroy [their own] lives (OR, those who are wise will have many people come and live with them).
31 Lám az igaznak a földön fizetnek, hát még a gonosznak és vétkezőnek.
[Sometimes] righteous [people] are rewarded [here] on the earth, but it is much more certain that very wicked people [DOU] [will be rewarded by being punished].
