Proverbs 11:1-24 - ESV - A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, ...

1 ¹A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, ²but a just weight is his delight.

2 ³When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with ⁴the humble is wisdom.

3 ⁵The integrity of the upright guides them, ⁶but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

4 ⁷Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, ⁸but righteousness delivers from death.

5 The righteousness of the blameless ⁹keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.

6 ¹⁰The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous ¹¹are taken captive by their lust.

7 When the wicked dies, his ¹²hope will perish, and ¹³the expectation of wealth^a perishes too.

8 ¹⁴The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked walks into it instead.

9 With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.

10 ¹⁵When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.

11 By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but ¹⁶by the mouth of the wicked ¹⁷it is overthrown.

12 Whoever ¹⁸belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent.

13 Whoever ¹⁹goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

14 Where there is ²⁰no guidance, a people falls, ²¹but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

15 ²²Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

16 ²³A gracious woman gets honor, and ²⁴violent men get riches.

17 ²⁵A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.

18 The wicked earns deceptive wages, but one who ²⁶sows righteousness gets a sure reward.

19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness ²⁷will live, but ²⁸he who pursues evil will die.

20 Those of ²⁹crooked heart are ³⁰an abomination to the LORD, but those of ³¹blameless ways are ³²his delight.

21 ³³Be assured, ³⁴an evil person will not go unpunished, but ³⁵the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.

22 Like ³⁶a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good; ³⁷the expectation of the wicked in wrath.

24 ³⁸One gives ³⁹freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
