Rotherham - Proverbs - 11

11:1  A deceptive balance, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, a full weight, is his delight.

11:2  When pride cometh, then cometh contempt, but, with the modest, is wisdom.

11:3  The integrity of the upright, shall guide them, but, the crookedness of the treacherous, shall be their ruin.

11:4  Wealth, shall not profit, in the day of wrath, but, righteousness, shall deliver from death.

11:5  The righteousness of the blameless, shall smooth his way, but, by his own lawlessness, shall the lawless one, fall.

11:6  The righteousness of the upright, shall deliver them, but, by their own craving, shall the treacherous be captured.

11:7  When the lawless man dieth, his expectation, perisheth, and, the hope of strong men, hath vanished.

11:8  The righteous man, out of distress, is delivered, then cometh a lawless man into his place.

11:9  With the mouth, a profane man destroyeth his neighbour, but, through knowledge, shall righteous men be delivered.

11:10  When it is, well with the righteous, the city, exulteth, When the lawless perish, there is a shout of triumph.

11:11  When the upright are blessed, exalted is the city, but, by the mouth of the lawless, it is overthrown.

11:12  He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, lacketh sense, but, a man of understanding, observeth silence.

11:13  He that goeth about talebearing, revealeth a secret, but, he that is faithful in spirit, concealeth a matter.

11:14  With no guidance, a people will fall, but, safety, lieth in the greatness of the counsellor.

11:15  He that becometh surety for a stranger, goeth to utter ruin, but, he that hateth striking hands, is secure.

11:16  A gracious wife, obtaineth honour, but, the diligent, shall obtain wealth.

11:17  The man of lovingkindness, dealeth well with his own soul, but the cruel man, troubleth his own flesh.

11:18  The lawless man, earneth the wages of falsehood, but, he that soweth righteousness, hath the reward of fidelity.

11:19  A righteous son, [turneth] to life, but, he that pursueth wickedness, to his own death.

11:20  The abomination of Yahweh, are they of perverse heart, but, his delight, are the men of blameless life.

11:21  Hand to hand, the wicked man shall not be held innocent, but, the seed of the righteous, hath been delivered.

11:22  As a ring of gold in the snout of a swine, is a woman of beauty who hath abandoned discretion.

11:23  The desire of the righteous, is only good, the expectation of the lawless, is wrath.

11:24  There is who scattereth, and increaseth yet more, and who withholdeth of what is due, only to come to want.

11:25  The liberal soul, shall be enriched, and, he that refresheth, shall himself also be refreshed.

11:26  He that keepeth back corn, the populace will curse him, but there is, a blessing, for the head of him that selleth.

11:27  He that diligently seeketh good, aimeth at favour, but, he that studieth mischief, it shall come on himself.

11:28  He that trusteth in his riches, the same, shall fall, but, like the leaf, shall the righteous break forth.

11:29  He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the wind, but, a servant, shall the foolish be, to the wise in heart.

11:30  The fruit of the righteous, is a tree of life, and, he that rescueth souls, is wise.

11:31  Lo! the righteous, in the earth shall be recompensed, how much more the lawless and the sinner.
