Proverbs 11:9-31 - ESV - With his mouth the godless man would destroy hi...

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

10 ¹When 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 ²by the mouth of the wicked ³it is overthrown.

12 Whoever ⁴belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent.

13 Whoever ⁵goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

14 Where there is ⁶no guidance, a people falls, ⁷but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

15 ⁸Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

16 ⁹A gracious woman gets honor, and ¹⁰violent men get riches.

17 ¹¹A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.

18 The wicked earns deceptive wages, but one who ¹²sows righteousness gets a sure reward.

19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness ¹³will live, but ¹⁴he who pursues evil will die.

20 Those of ¹⁵crooked heart are ¹⁶an abomination to the LORD, but those of ¹⁷blameless ways are ¹⁸his delight.

21 ¹⁹Be assured, ²⁰an evil person will not go unpunished, but ²¹the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.

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

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

24 ²⁴One gives ²⁵freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

25 ²⁶Whoever brings blessing ²⁷will be enriched, and ²⁸one who waters will himself be watered.

26 ²⁹The people curse him who holds back grain, but ³⁰a blessing is on the head of him who ³¹sells it.

27 Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,^a but evil comes to ³²him who searches for it.

28 Whoever ³³trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will ³⁴flourish like a green leaf.

29 Whoever ³⁵troubles his own household will ³⁶inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous is ³⁷a tree of life, and whoever ³⁸captures souls is wise.

31 If ³⁹the righteous is repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
