Proverbs 11

JuliaSmith^{(i) 1} Balances of deceit, an abomination of Jehovah: and a whole stone his delight ² Pride coming, and dishonor will come: and wisdom with the humble. ³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them: and the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. ⁴ Wealth will not profit in the day of wrath, and justice will deliver from death. ⁵ The justice of the blameless shall make straight his way, and in his injustice the unjust shall fall. ⁶ The justice of the upright shall deliver them, and transgressors shall be taken in their mischief. ⁷ In the death of an unjust man expectation shall perish: and the hope of the vain shall perish. ⁸ The just one was delivered from straits, and the unjust will come in his stead. ⁹ With the mouth the profane will destroy his neighbor: and by knowledge, shall the just one be delivered. ¹⁰ In the good of the just the city will exult: and in the perishing of the unjust it rejoiced. ¹¹ By the blessing of the upright the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the unjust it shall be overthrown. ¹² He wanting heart despised for his neighbor: and a man of understanding will be silent. ¹³ He going about tale-bearing reveals a secret: and he being faithful of spirit hides the word. ¹⁴ In no guidance the people will fall: and salvation in a multitude of counseling. ¹⁵ The evil one shall become evil, for he became surety for a stranger: and he hating those striking hands being secure. ¹⁶ A woman of grace will obtain honor, and the powerful will obtain riches. ¹⁷ The man of mercy benefited his soul: and the cruel troubled his flesh. ¹⁸ The unjust one did a work of falsehood: and the seed of justice the reward of truth. ¹⁹ So justice to life, and he pursuing evil, to his death. ²⁰ The perverse of heart are an abomination of Jehovah, and the blameless of way his delight ²¹ Hand to hand, the evil one shall not be unpunished: and the seed of the just were delivered. ²² A ring of gold in the nose of a swine, a fair woman and she departed from discernment ²³ The desire of the just is only good: the expectation of the unjust, wrath. ²⁴ There is scattering and yet adding; and the withholding more than right, only to want ²⁵ The soul of blessing shall be made fat: also he watering, shall himself drink to the full. ²⁶ He withholding grain, the people shall curse him: and blessing upon the head of him selling. ²⁷ He seeking good shall strive after acceptance: and he seeking evil, it shall come to him. ²⁸ He trusting in his riches himself shall fall: and the just shall flourish as the foliage. ²⁹ He troubling his house shall inherit wind: and the foolish is servant to the wise of heart ³⁰ The fruit of the just a tree of life; and he taking souls is wise. ³¹ Behold, the just shall be requited in the earth: much more the unjust one and the sinning.
