29 Proverbs of Solomon 11:1

29 Proverbs of Solomon 11:1-31 ¹A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. ²When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. ³The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. ⁴Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. ⁵The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. ⁶The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. ⁷When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. ⁸The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. ⁹An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. ¹⁰When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. ¹¹By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. ¹²He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. ¹³A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. ¹⁴Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. ¹⁵He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure. ¹⁶A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches. ¹⁷The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. ¹⁸The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. ¹⁹As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. ²⁰They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. ²¹Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. ²²As a jewel of gold in a swines snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. ²³The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. ²⁴There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. ²⁵The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. ²⁶He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. ²⁷He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. ²⁸He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. ²⁹He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. ³⁰The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. ³¹Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.(KJV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 11:1-31 ¹A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah;

But a just weight is his delight.

²When pride cometh, then cometh shame;

But with the lowly is wisdom.

³The integrity of the upright shall guide them;

But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.

⁴Riches profit not in the day of wrath;

But righteousness delivereth from death.

⁵The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way;

But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

⁶The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them;

But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.

⁷When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish;

And the hope of iniquity perisheth.

⁸The righteous is delivered out of trouble,

And the wicked cometh in his stead.

⁹With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor;

But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.

¹⁰When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth;

And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

¹¹By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted;

But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

¹²He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom;

But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

¹³He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets;

But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.

¹⁴Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth;

But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

¹⁵He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it;

But he that hateth suretyship is secure.

¹⁶A gracious woman obtaineth honor;

And violent men obtain riches.

¹⁷The merciful man doeth good to his own soul;

But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

¹⁸The wicked earneth deceitful wages;

But he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.

¹⁹He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life;

And he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death.

²⁰They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah;

But such as are perfect in their way are his delight.

²¹Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished;

But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

²²As a ring of gold in a swine's snout,

So is a fair woman that is without discretion.

²³The desire of the righteous is only good;

But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

²⁴There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more;

And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.

²⁵The liberal soul shall be made fat;

And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

²⁶He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him;

But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

²⁷He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor;

But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.

²⁸He that trusteth in his riches shall fall;

But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

²⁹He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind;

And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

And he that is wise winneth souls.
