Proverbs 11:1-10

1 A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, But accurate weights are his delight.
2 When pride comes, then comes shame, But with humility comes wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them, But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
4 Riches don't profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, But the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
7 When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, And expectation of power comes to nothing.
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked takes his place.
9 With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, But the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
