Proverbs 11:1-7

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight [is] His delight.

2 Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly [is] wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright leadeth them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroyeth them.

4 Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivereth from death.

5 The righteousness of the perfect maketh right his way, And by his wickedness doth the wicked fall.

6 The righteousness of the upright delivereth them, And in mischief the treacherous are captured.

7 In the death of a wicked man, hope perisheth, And the expectation of the iniquitous hath been lost.
