Proverbs 11:1-7

1 A deceitful balance is an abomination before the Lord: and a just weight is his will.

1 The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.

2 Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom.

2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

3 The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them.

3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

4 Riches shall not profit in the day of revenge: but justice shall deliver from death.

4 Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

5 The justice of the upright shall make his way prosperous: and the wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness.

5 The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight, but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.

6 The justice of the righteous shall deliver them: and the unjust shall be caught in their own snares.

6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.

7 When the wicked man is dead, there shall be no hope any more: and the expectation of the solicitous shall perish.

7 Hopes placed in mortals die with them; all the promise of their power comes to nothing.
