strkjv - Proverbs - 11
1 A
false balance is
abomination to the
LORD: but a
just weight is his
delight.
2 When
pride cometh, then
cometh shame: but with the
lowly is
wisdom.
3 The
integrity of the
upright shall
guide them: but the
perverseness of
transgressors shall
destroy them.
4 Riches profit not in the
day of
wrath: but
righteousness delivereth from
death.
5 The
righteousness of the
perfect shall
direct his
way: but the
wicked shall
fall by his own
wickedness.
6 The
righteousness of the
upright shall
deliver them: but
transgressors shall be
taken in their own
naughtiness.
7 When a
wicked man dieth, his
expectation shall
perish: and the
hope of
unjust men
perisheth.
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.
10 When it goeth
well with the
righteous, the
city rejoiceth: and when the
wicked perish, there is
shouting.
11 By the
blessing of the
upright the
city is
exalted: but it is
overthrown by the
mouth of the
wicked.
12 He that is
void of
wisdom despiseth his
neighbour: but a
man of
understanding holdeth his
peace.
13 A
talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a
faithful spirit concealeth the
matter.
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.
17 The
merciful man doeth
good to his own
soul: but he that is
cruel troubleth his own
flesh.
18 The
wicked worketh a
deceitful work: but to him that
soweth righteousness shall be a
sure reward.
19 As
righteousness tendeth to
life: so he that
pursueth evil pursueth it to his own
death.
20 They that are of a
froward heart are
abomination to the
LORD: but such as are
upright in their
way are his
delight.
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
swines snout, so is a
fair woman which is
without discretion.
23 The
desire of the
righteous is only
good: but the
expectation of the
wicked is
wrath.
24 There
is that
scattereth, and yet
increaseth; and there is that
withholdeth more than is
meet, but it tendeth to
poverty.
25 The
liberal soul shall be made
fat: and he that
watereth shall be
watered also himself.
26 He that
withholdeth corn, the
people shall
curse him: but
blessing shall be upon the
head of him that
selleth it.
27 He that diligently
seeketh good procureth favour: but he that
seeketh mischief, it shall
come unto him.
28 He that
trusteth in his
riches shall
fall: but the
righteous shall
flourish as a
branch.
29 He that
troubleth his own
house shall
inherit the
wind: and the
fool shall be
servant to the
wise of
heart.
30 The
fruit of the
righteous is a
tree of
life; and he that
winneth souls is
wise.
31 Behold, the
righteous shall be
recompensed in the
earth: much more the
wicked and the
sinner.
