Proverbs 11:6-26 - ESV - The righteousness of the upright delivers them,...

6 ¹The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous ²are taken captive by their lust.

7 When the wicked dies, his ³hope will perish, and ⁴the expectation of wealth^a perishes too.

8 ⁵The 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 ⁶When 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 ⁷by the mouth of the wicked ⁸it is overthrown.

12 Whoever ⁹belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent.

13 Whoever ¹⁰goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

14 Where there is ¹¹no guidance, a people falls, ¹²but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

15 ¹³Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

16 ¹⁴A gracious woman gets honor, and ¹⁵violent men get riches.

17 ¹⁶A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.

18 The wicked earns deceptive wages, but one who ¹⁷sows righteousness gets a sure reward.

19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness ¹⁸will live, but ¹⁹he who pursues evil will die.

20 Those of ²⁰crooked heart are ²¹an abomination to the LORD, but those of ²²blameless ways are ²³his delight.

21 ²⁴Be assured, ²⁵an evil person will not go unpunished, but ²⁶the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.

22 Like ²⁷a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good; ²⁸the expectation of the wicked in wrath.

24 ²⁹One gives ³⁰freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

25 ³¹Whoever brings blessing ³²will be enriched, and ³³one who waters will himself be watered.

26 ³⁴The people curse him who holds back grain, but ³⁵a blessing is on the head of him who ³⁶sells it.

Provérbios 11:6 A justiça dos retos os livra; mas os traiçoeiros são apanhados nas, suas próprias cobiças.
