Proverbs 11 1Jehovah's disgust is in scales that aren't right 1A perfect stoneweight is Jehovah's delight 2The coming of pride means a coming disgrace 2But wisdom is found in the lowly one's grace 3Integrity guides all the upright to joy 3Perversity treacherous ones will destroy 4So riches can't help when a judgment is due 4But righteousness saves out of death it is true 5As one's perfect rectitude straightens his way 5The wicked one's evil will cause him to stray 6The virtues of pure men do snatch from the fire 6But men without faith shall be caught by desire 7The death of the guilty will kill all his hope 7As vanity dies at the end of a rope 8The just is delivered from trouble it's true 8The wicked come in to receive what is due 9The mouth of a hypocrite ruins his friends 9By knowledge a righteous man honour defends 10A city has joy when the lawful win out 10When guilty men perish they let out a shout 11The blessings of true men will build up a town 11The words of the wrongful will pull it all down 12The one needing wisdom despises a friend 12The reasoning man keeps his peace to the end 13A man telling tales will some secret reveal 13The faithful in spirit a matter conceal 14Where counsel is lacking a nation will fall 14But safety is seeking the counsel of all 15The one who will guarantee strangers will pay 15It's safer to hate giving pledges they say 16A woman who's gracious will glory uphold 16And mighty men hold on to silver and gold 17A merciful man his own soul does treat well 17But cruel men do torture their own outer shell 18The man who is wicked does works untoward 18But he who sows justice will reap true reward 19As blamelessness ardent to living does tend 19So those who hunt evil will come to their end 20Abhorred by Jehovah the twisted of mind 20The way of the upright a joy he does find 21The bad in their dealings will never be free 21The fruit of the just shall be saved we agree 22As nosering of gold in a swine's lowly snout 22A maiden with beauty but reason without 23The longing of worthy ones only is glad 23An outburst of passion the hope of the bad 24As one who is scattering still may increase 24So wealth for a hoarder of riches will cease 25The generous man will himself be made fat 25And those who will water get watered at that 26Withholders of grain will be cursed truth to tell 26So blessed be the head of the one who will sell 27The seeker of good things will favour procure 27But one seeking evil finds trouble for sure 28One trusting in riches shall see overthrow 28But one who is just comes to flourish and grow 29One sheltering trouble inherits the wind 29The debt of a fool may a wise heart rescind 30The fruit of a just man is life like a tree 30And one winning souls will be wise to a tee 31Behold now the righteous for he's not afraid 31His stay on the earth will be handsomely paid 31And wicked or sinner how dare one ignore 31So shall he be paid but a thousand times more © 2003-2004 Ward Green.

Proverbs 11 1 A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah; But a just weight is his delight. Proverbs 11 2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame; But with the lowly is wisdom. Proverbs 11 3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them; But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them. Proverbs 11 4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death. Proverbs 11 5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way; But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. Proverbs 11 6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity. Proverbs 11 7 When a wicked man dieth, [his] expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth. Proverbs 11 8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead. Proverbs 11 9 With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered. Proverbs 11 10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; And when the wicked perish, there is shouting. Proverbs 11 11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted; But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. Proverbs 11 12 He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding holdeth his peace. Proverbs 11 13 He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter. Proverbs 11 14 Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth; But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. Proverbs 11 15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; But he that hateth suretyship is secure. Proverbs 11 16 A gracious woman obtaineth honor; And violent men obtain riches. Proverbs 11 17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. Proverbs 11 18 The wicked earneth deceitful wages; But he that soweth righteousness [hath] a sure reward. Proverbs 11 19 He that is stedfast in righteousness [shall attain] unto life; And he that pursueth evil [doeth it] to his own death. Proverbs 11 20 They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah; But such as are perfect in [their] way are his delight. Proverbs 11 21 [Though] hand [join] in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished; But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. Proverbs 11 22 [As] a ring of gold in a swine`s snout, [So is] a fair woman that is without discretion. Proverbs 11 23 The desire of the righteous is only good; [But] the expectation of the wicked is wrath. Proverbs 11 24 There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] only to want. Proverbs 11 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11 26 He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. Proverbs 11 27 He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him. Proverbs 11 28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. Proverbs 11 29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. Proverbs 11 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that is wise winneth souls. Proverbs 11 31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: How much more the wicked and the sinner! |
