Proverbs 11
1 A false balance is an abomination to the Lord; but a just weight is his delight.

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.

5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

9 A hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor; but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
