Proverbs 11Contrast the Upright and the Wicked 1 A false balance
is an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight.
2 When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is
wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the
crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them. 4 Riches do
not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from
death. 5 The righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way,
But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness. 6 The
righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the
treacherous will be caught by their own greed. 7 When a wicked
man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of strong
men perishes. 8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, But the
wicked takes his place. 9 With his mouth the godless man
destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will
be delivered. 10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city
rejoices, And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.
