Proverbs 11:8-18

⁸The just is delivered out of distress: and the wicked shall be given up for him.

⁹The dissembler with his mouth deceiveth his friend: but the just shall be delivered by knowledge.

¹⁰When it goeth well with the just the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish there shall be praise.

¹¹By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown.

¹²He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold his peace.

¹³He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.

¹⁴Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.

¹⁵He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.

¹⁶A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.

¹⁷A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.

¹⁸The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.
