Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 11
False balances are an abomination vnto the Lord: but a perfite weight pleaseth him. Deu 25:13When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome. The vprightnes of the iust shall guide them: but the frowardnes of the transgressers shall destroy them. Riches auaile not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes deliuereth from death. Pro 10:2; Ezk 7:19; Zep 1:18The righteousnes of the vpright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his owne wickednes. The righteousnesse of the iust shall deliuer them: but the transgressers shall be taken in their owne wickednes. When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the vniust shall perish. The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade. Est 7:9; Psa 34:19An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge. In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye. Pro 28:12By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked. Gen 18:32He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence. Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter. Pro 20:19Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health. Pro 15:22Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure. A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches. Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel. The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde. Gal 6:8As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death. They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite. Psa 5:6; Psa 119:1Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape. Pro 16:5As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion. The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation. Psa 112:10There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie. 2Co 9:6The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine. He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne. He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him. He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe. Job 31:25; Mat 19:23; 1Ti 6:17He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde, and the foole shalbe seruant to the wise in heart. The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise. Pro 3:18Beholde, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: howe much more the wicked and the sinner?1Pe 4:18
