Proverbs 11 (New International Version)

Proverbs 11

1 The LORD abhors
dishonest scales,
but accurate weights
are his delight.

2 When pride comes,
then comes disgrace,
but with humility
comes wisdom.

3 The integrity of
the upright guides them,
but the
unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

4 Wealth is
worthless in the day of wrath,
but
righteousness delivers from death.

5 The righteousness
of the blameless makes a straight way for them,

but the wicked are brought down by
their own wickedness.

6 The righteousness
of the upright delivers them,
but the
unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.

7 When a wicked man
dies, his hope perishes;
all he
expected from his power comes to nothing.

8 The righteous man
is rescued from trouble,
and it comes
on the wicked instead.

9 With his mouth
the godless destroys his neighbor,
but
through knowledge the righteous escape.

10 When the
righteous prosper, the city rejoices;

when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

11 Through the
blessing of the upright a city is exalted,

but by the mouth of the wicked it is
destroyed.

12 A man who lacks
judgment derides his neighbor,
but a
man of understanding holds his tongue.

13 A gossip
betrays a confidence,
but a trustworthy
man keeps a secret.

14 For lack of
guidance a nation falls,
but many
advisers make victory sure.

15 He who puts up
security for another will surely suffer,

but whoever refuses to strike hands in
pledge is safe.

16 A kindhearted
woman gains respect,
but ruthless men
gain only wealth.

17 A kind man
benefits himself,
but a cruel man
brings trouble on himself.

18 The wicked man
earns deceptive wages,
but he who sows
righteousness reaps a sure reward.

19 The truly
righteous man attains life,
but he who
pursues evil goes to his death.

20 The LORD
detests men of perverse heart
but he
delights in those whose ways are blameless.

21 Be sure of
this: The wicked will not go unpunished,

but those who are righteous will go
free.

22 Like a gold
ring in a pig's snout
is a beautiful
woman who shows no discretion.

23 The desire of
the righteous ends only in good,
but
the hope of the wicked only in wrath.

24 One man gives
freely, yet gains even more;
another
withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

25 A generous man
will prosper;
he who refreshes others
will himself be refreshed.

26 People curse
the man who hoards grain,
but blessing
crowns him who is willing to sell.

27 He who seeks
good finds goodwill,
but evil comes to
him who searches for it.

28 Whoever trusts
in his riches will fall,
but the
righteous will thrive like a green leaf.

29 He who brings
trouble on his family will inherit only wind,

and the fool will be servant to the
wise.

30 The fruit of
the righteous is a tree of life,
and he
who wins souls is wise.

31 If the
righteous receive their due on earth,

how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
