Proverbs 11
1A false balance <add>is</add> abomination to the LORD: but a just weight <add>is</add> his delight.2<add>When</add> pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly <add>is</add> wisdom.3The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.4Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.5The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in <add>their own</add> naughtiness.7When a wicked man dieth, <add>his</add> expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust <add>men</add> perisheth.8The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.9An hypocrite with <add>his</add> mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, <add>there is</add> shouting.11By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.12He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.13A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.14Where no counsel <add>is</add>, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors <add>there is</add> safety.15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart <add>for it:</add> and he that hateth suretiship is sure.16A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong <add>men</add> retain riches.17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but <add>he that is</add> cruel troubleth his own flesh.18The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness <add>shall be</add> a sure reward.19As righteousness <add>tendeth</add> to life: so he that pursueth evil <add>pursueth it</add> to his own death.20They that are of a froward heart <add>are</add> abomination to the LORD: but <add>such as are</add> upright in <add>their</add> way <add>are</add> his delight.21<add>Though</add> hand <add>join</add> in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.22<add>As</add> a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, <add>so is</add> a fair woman which is without discretion.23The desire of the righteous <add>is</add> only good: <add>but</add> the expectation of the wicked <add>is</add> wrath.24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and <add>there is</add> that withholdeth more than is meet, but <add>it tendeth</add> to poverty.25The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing <add>shall be</add> upon the head of him that selleth <add>it</add>.27He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool <add>shall be</add> servant to the wise of heart.30The fruit of the righteous <add>is</add> a tree of life; and he that winneth souls <add>is</add> wise.31Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
