Proverbs 11

Take note of these:

Proverbs 11:1-4

King James Version

11 A false balance is abomination to the Lord: 

but a just weight is his delight.

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: 

but with the lowly is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: 

but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: 

but righteousness delivereth from death.


Proverbs 11:5-11

King James Version

5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: 

but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: 

but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

7 When a wicked man dieth, 

his expectation shall perish: 

and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, 

and the wicked cometh in his stead.

9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: 

but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

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

and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

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

but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.


Proverbs 11:12-17

King James Version

12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: 

but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: 

but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: 

but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

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

and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: 

and strong men retain riches.

17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: 

but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.


Proverbs 11:18-21

King James Version

18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: 

but to him that soweth righteousness 

shall be a sure reward.

19 As righteousness tendeth to life: 

so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

20 They that are of a froward heart 

are abomination to the Lord: 

but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

21 Though hand join in hand, 

the wicked shall not be unpunished: 

but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.


Proverbs 11:23

King James Version

23 The desire of the righteous is only good: 

but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.


Proverbs 11:25-28

King James Version

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: 

and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26 He that withholdeth corn, 

the people shall curse him: 

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

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: 

but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; 

but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.


Proverbs 11:30-31

King James Version

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; 

and he that winneth souls is wise.

31 Behold, 

the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: 

much more the wicked and the sinner.
