Proverbs 11:1-7

Listen to Proverbs 11:1-7

1 Scales of deceit are hated by the Lord, but a true weight is his delight.

2 When pride comes, there comes shame, but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.

3 The righteousness of the upright will be their guide, but the twisted ways of the false will be their destruction.

4 Wealth is of no profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness keeps a man safe from death.

5 The righteousness of the good man will make his way straight, but the sin of the evil-doer will be the cause of his fall.

6 The righteousness of the upright will be their salvation, but the false will themselves be taken in their evil designs.

7 At the death of an upright man his hope does not come to an end, but the hope of the evil-doer comes to destruction.
