ULT PRO Chapter 11

◄ PRO 11 ► ║ ©

11 Scales of deceit are an abomination to Yahweh

but a whole stone is his delight.

2 When presumptuousness comes, then disgrace comes,

but with modest ones is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright ones will guide them,

but the crookedness of the treacherous ones will destroy them.

4 Wealth will not profit in the day of rage,

but righteousness will deliver from death.

5 The righteousness of a blameless one will make his way straight,

but by his wickedness a wicked one will fall.

6 The righteousness of the upright ones will deliver them,

but by the desire of the treacherous ones they will be captured.

7 At the death of a wicked man expectation will perish,

and the hope of strong ones perishes.

8 A righteous one is drawn away from distress,

but a wicked one enters instead of him.

9 With a mouth a godless one destroys his neighbor,

but with knowledge righteous ones will be delivered.

10 In the good of the righteous ones a city exults;

and when wicked ones perish, a shout of joy.

11 With the blessing of the upright ones a city is raised up,

but with the mouth of the wicked ones it is torn down.

12 One who despises his neighbor is lacking of heart,

but a man of understanding will keep quiet.

13 A gossip goes about uncovering a secret,

but one who is faithful of spirit is one who covers a matter.

14 When there are no directions a people falls,

but salvation is in an abundance of counsel.

15 One will surely suffer if he pledges for a stranger,

but one who hates hand clasps is secure.

16 A woman of grace will grasp honor,

but ruthless ones will grasp riches.

17 A man of covenant faithfulness deals fully with his soul,

but a cruel one troubles his flesh.

18 A wicked one makes a wage of falsehood,

but one who sows righteousness, a wage of truth.

19 Veritable righteousness is to life,

but one who pursues evil is to his death.

20 An abomination to Yahweh is those crooked of heart,

but his delight is those blameless of way.

21 Hand to hand, a wicked one will not remain blameless,

but the seed of the righteous ones will safely escape.

22 A ring of gold in the nose of a pig

is a beautiful woman that turns away from discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous ones is only good;

the expectation of the wicked ones is rage.

24 There is one who scatters and adds more,

but one who withholds more than what is right, only for lack.

25 A life of blessing will be fattened,

and the one who drenches, he also will be drenched.

26 One who withholds grain, people will curse him,

but a blessing is for the head of the seller.

27 One who diligently seeks good seeks favor,

but one who searches for evil, it will come to him.

28 One who trusts in his riches, he himself will fall,

but like a leaf righteous ones will sprout.

29 One who troubles his house will inherit wind,

and a fool will be a slave to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous one is a tree of life,

and the taker of souls is wise.

31 Behold, a righteous one in the land will be repaid,

how much more a wicked one and a sinner!
