YLT - Proverbs - 11

11:1  Balances of deceit are an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight is His delight.

11:2  Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly is wisdom.

11:3  The integrity of the upright leadeth them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroyeth them.

11:4  Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivereth from death.

11:5  The righteousness of the perfect maketh right his way, And by his wickedness doth the wicked fall.

11:6  The righteousness of the upright delivereth them, And in mischief the treacherous are captured.

11:7  In the death of a wicked man, hope perisheth, And the expectation of the iniquitous hath been lost.

11:8  The righteous from distress is drawn out, And the wicked goeth in instead of him.

11:9  With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by knowledge the righteous are drawn out.

11:10  In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked is singing.

11:11  By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.

11:12  Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.

11:13  A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.

11:14  Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance is in a multitude of counsellors.

11:15  Evil one suffereth when he hath been surety for a stranger, And whoso is hating suretyship is confident.

11:16  A gracious woman retaineth honour, And terrible men retain riches.

11:17  A kind man is rewarding his own soul, And the fierce is troubling his own flesh.

11:18  The wicked is getting a lying wage, And whoso is sowing righteousness--a true reward.

11:19  Rightly is righteousness for life, And whoso is pursuing evil--for his own death.

11:20  An abomination to Jehovah are the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way are His delight.

11:21  Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of the righteous hath escaped.

11:22  A ring of gold in the nose of a sow--A fair woman and stubborn of behaviour.

11:23  The desire of the righteous is only good, The hope of the wicked is transgression.

11:24  There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.

11:25  A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.

11:26  Whoso is withholding corn, the people execrate him, And a blessing is for the head of him who is selling.

11:27  Whoso is earnestly seeking good Seeketh a pleasing thing, And whoso is seeking evil--it meeteth him.

11:28  Whoso is confident in his wealth he falleth, And as a leaf, the righteous flourish.

11:29  Whoso is troubling his own house inheriteth wind, And a servant is the fool to the wise of heart.

11:30  The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And whoso is taking souls is wise.

11:31  Lo, the righteous in the earth is recompensed, Surely also the wicked and the sinner!
