Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 11
Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to YHWH, || And a perfect weight [is] His delight. Deu 25:13Pride has come, and shame comes, || And wisdom [is] with the lowly. The integrity of the upright leads them, || And the perverseness of the treacherous destroys them. Wealth does not profit in a day of wrath, || And righteousness delivers from death. Pro 10:2; Ezk 7:19; Zep 1:18The righteousness of the perfect makes his way right, || And by his wickedness the wicked fall. The righteousness of the upright delivers them, || And in mischief the treacherous are captured. In the death of a wicked man, hope perishes, || And the expectation of the iniquitous has been lost. The righteous is drawn out from distress, || And the wicked goes in instead of him. Est 7:9; Psa 34:19A hypocrite corrupts his friend with the mouth, || And the righteous are drawn out by knowledge. A city exults in the good of the righteous, || And in the destruction of the wicked [is] singing. Pro 28:12By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, || And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down. Gen 18:32Whoever is despising his neighbor lacks heart, || And a man of understanding keeps silence. A busybody is revealing secret counsel, || And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter. Pro 20:19Without counsels a people falls, || And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counselors. Pro 15:22An evil [one] suffers when he has been guarantor [for] a stranger, || And whoever hates striking hands [in agreement] is confident. A gracious woman retains honor, || And terrible [men] retain riches. A kind man is rewarding his own soul, || And the fierce is troubling his own flesh. The wicked is getting a lying wage, || And whoever is sowing righteousness—a true reward. Gal 6:8Correctly [is] righteousness for life, || And whoever is pursuing evil—for his own death. The perverse of heart are an abomination to YHWH, || And the perfect of the way [are] His delight. Psa 5:6; Psa 119:1Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, || And the seed of the righteous has escaped. Pro 16:5A ring of gold in the nose of a sow—A beautiful woman and stubborn of behavior. The desire of the righteous [is] only good, || The hope of the wicked [is] transgression. Psa 112:10There is [one] who is scattering, and yet is increased, || And [one] who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want. 2Co 9:6A liberal soul is made fat, || And whoever is watering, he also is watered. Whoever is withholding grain, the people execrate him, || And a blessing [is] for the head of him who is selling. Whoever is earnestly seeking good || Seeks a pleasing thing, || And whoever is seeking evil—it meets him. Whoever is confident in his wealth falls, || And as a leaf, the righteous flourish. Job 31:25; Mat 19:23; 1Ti 6:17Whoever is troubling his own house inherits wind, || And the fool [is] a servant to the wise of heart. The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life, || And whoever is taking souls [is] wise. Pro 3:18Behold, the righteous is repaid in the earth, || Surely also the wicked and the sinner!1Pe 4:18
