Proverbs 11:5-25 - ESV - The righteousness of the blameless keeps his wa...

5 The righteousness of the blameless ¹keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.

6 ²The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous ³are taken captive by their lust.

7 When the wicked dies, his ⁴hope will perish, and ⁵the expectation of wealth^a perishes too.

8 ⁶The 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 ⁷When 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 ⁸by the mouth of the wicked ⁹it is overthrown.

12 Whoever ¹⁰belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent.

13 Whoever ¹¹goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

14 Where there is ¹²no guidance, a people falls, ¹³but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

15 ¹⁴Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

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

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

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

19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness ¹⁹will live, but ²⁰he who pursues evil will die.

20 Those of ²¹crooked heart are ²²an abomination to the LORD, but those of ²³blameless ways are ²⁴his delight.

21 ²⁵Be assured, ²⁶an evil person will not go unpunished, but ²⁷the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.

22 Like ²⁸a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good; ²⁹the expectation of the wicked in wrath.

24 ³⁰One gives ³¹freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

25 ³²Whoever brings blessing ³³will be enriched, and ³⁴one who waters will himself be watered.

Provérbios 11:5 A justiça dos perfeitos endireita o seu caminho; mas o ímpio cai pela sua impiedade.

Proverbs 11:5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

Proverbs 11:5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

Provérbios 11:5 A retidão dos irrepreensíveis lhes abre um caminho reto,mas os ímpios são abatidos por sua própria impiedade.
