Proverbs 11:1-10

¹A guileful balance is abomination with God; and an even weight is his will.

²Where pride is, there also despising shall be; but where meekness is, there also is wisdom.

³The simpleness of just or rightwise men shall dress them; and the deceiving of wayward men shall destroy them.

⁴Riches shall not profit in the day of vengeance; but rightfulness or rightwiseness shall deliver from death.

⁵The rightfulness or rightwiseness of a simple man shall dress his way; and a wicked man shall fall in his wickedness.

⁶The rightfulness of rightful men or The rightwiseness of right men shall deliver them; and wicked men shall be taken in their ambushings.

⁷When a wicked man is dead, none hope shall be further of him; and the abiding of busy men in evil shall perish.

⁸A just or rightwise man is delivered from anguish; and a wicked man shall be given for him.

⁹A feigner by mouth deceiveth his friend; but just or rightwise men shall be delivered by or with knowing.

¹⁰A city shall be enhanced in the goods of just or rightwise men; and praising shall be in the perdition of wicked men.
