11:2 [When] pride 2087 cometh 935 8804, then cometh 935 8799 shame 7036: but with the lowly 6800 8803 [is] wisdom 2451.

11:3 The integrity 8538 of the upright 3477 shall guide 5148 8686 them: but the perverseness 5558 of transgressors 898 8802 shall destroy 7703 8799 8675 7703 8804 them.

11:4 Riches 1952 profit 3276 8686 not in the day 3117 of wrath 5678: but righteousness 6666 delivereth 5337 8686 from death 4194.

11:5 The righteousness 6666 of the perfect 8549 shall direct 3474 8762 his way 1870: but the wicked 7563 shall fall 5307 8799 by his own wickedness 7564.(direct: Heb. rectify)

11:6 The righteousness 6666 of the upright 3477 shall deliver 5337 8686 them: but transgressors 898 8802 shall be taken 3920 8735 in [their own] naughtiness 1942.

11:7 When a wicked 7563 man 120 dieth 4194, [his] expectation 8615 shall perish 6 8799: and the hope 8431 of unjust 205 [men] perisheth 6 8804.

11:8 The righteous 6662 is delivered out 2502 8738 of trouble 6869, and the wicked 7563 cometh 935 8799 in his stead.

11:10 When it goeth well 2898 with the righteous 6662, the city 7151 rejoiceth 5970 8799: and when the wicked 7563 perish 6 8800, [there is] shouting 7440.

11:11 By the blessing 1293 of the upright 3477 the city 7176 is exalted 7311 8799: but it is overthrown 2040 8735 by the mouth 6310 of the wicked 7563.

11:12 He that is void 2638 of wisdom 3820 despiseth 936 8802 his neighbour 7453: but a man 376 of understanding 8394 holdeth his peace 2790 8686.(void…: Heb. destitute of heart)

11:13 A talebearer 1980 8802 7400 revealeth 1540 8764 secrets 5475: but he that is of a faithful 539 8738 spirit 7307 concealeth 3680 8764 the matter 1697.(A talebearer: Heb. He that walketh, being a talebearer)

11:14 Where no counsel 8458 [is], the people 5971 fall 5307 8799: but in the multitude 7230 of counsellors 3289 8802 [there is] safety 8668.

11:15 He that is surety 6148 8804 for a stranger 2114 8801 shall smart 7321 8735 7451 [for it]: and he that hateth 8130 8802 suretiship 8628 8802 is sure 982 8802.(smart: Heb. be sore broken)(suretiship: Heb. those that strike hands)

11:16 A gracious 2580 woman 802 retaineth 8551 8799 honour 3519: and strong 6184 [men] retain 8551 8799 riches 6239.

11:17 The merciful 2617 man 376 doeth good 1580 8802 to his own soul 5315: but [he that is] cruel 394 troubleth 5916 8802 his own flesh 7607.

11:18 The wicked 7563 worketh 6213 8802 a deceitful 8267 work 6468: but to him that soweth 2232 8802 righteousness 6666 [shall be] a sure 571 reward 7938.

11:19 As righteousness 6666 [tendeth] to life 2416: so he that pursueth 7291 8764 evil 7451 [pursueth it] to his own death 4194.

11:20 They that are of a froward 6141 heart 3820 [are] abomination 8441 to the LORD 3068: but [such as are] upright 8549 in [their] way 1870 [are] his delight 7522.

11:21 [Though] hand 3027 [join] in hand 3027, the wicked 7451 shall not be unpunished 5352 8735: but the seed 2233 of the righteous 6662 shall be delivered 4422 8738.

11:22 [As] a jewel 5141 of gold 2091 in a swine's 2386 snout 639, [so is] a fair 3303 woman 802 which is without 5493 8802 discretion 2940.(is without: Heb. departeth from)

11:23 The desire 8378 of the righteous 6662 [is] only good 2896: [but] the expectation 8615 of the wicked 7563 [is] wrath 5678.

11:24 There is 3426 that scattereth 6340 8764, and yet increaseth 3254 8737; and [there is] that withholdeth 2820 8802 more than is meet 3476, but [it tendeth] to poverty 4270.

11:25 The liberal 1293 soul 5315 shall be made fat 1878 8792: and he that watereth 7301 8688 shall be watered 3384 8686 also himself.(liberal…: Heb. soul of blessing)

11:26 He that withholdeth 4513 8802 corn 1250, the people 3816 shall curse 5344 8799 him: but blessing 1293 [shall be] upon the head 7218 of him that selleth 7666 8688 [it].

11:27 He that diligently seeketh 7836 8802 good 2896 procureth 1245 8762 favour 7522: but he that seeketh 1875 8802 mischief 7451, it shall come 935 8799 unto him.

11:28 He that trusteth 982 8802 in his riches 6239 shall fall 5307 8799: but the righteous 6662 shall flourish 6524 8799 as a branch 5929.

11:29 He that troubleth 5916 8802 his own house 1004 shall inherit 5157 8799 the wind 7307: and the fool 191 [shall be] servant 5650 to the wise 2450 of heart 3820.

11:30 The fruit 6529 of the righteous 6662 [is] a tree 6086 of life 2416; and he that winneth 3947 8802 souls 5315 [is] wise 2450.(winneth: Heb. taketh)

11:31 Behold, the righteous 6662 shall be recompensed 7999 8792 in the earth 776: much more the wicked 7563 and the sinner 2398 8802.
