Proverbs 11
King James Version
11 A false balance is 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 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: 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.
12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.
17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.

11 EL peso falso abominación es á Jehová: Mas la pesa cabal le agrada.
2 Cuando viene la soberbia, viene también la deshonra: Mas con los humildes es la sabiduría.
3 La integridad de los rectos los encaminará: Mas destruirá á los pecadores la perversidad de ellos.
4 No aprovecharán las riquezas en el día de la ira: Mas la justicia librará de muerte.
5 La justicia del perfecto enderezará su camino: mas el impío por su impiedad caerá.
6 La justicia de los rectos los librará: Mas los pecadores en su pecado serán presos.
7 Cuando muere el hombre impío, perece su esperanza; Y la espectativa de los malos perecerá.
8 El justo es librado de la tribulación: Mas el impío viene en lugar suyo.
9 El hipócrita con la boca daña á su prójimo: Mas los justos son librados con la sabiduría.
10 En el bien de los justos la ciudad se alegra: Mas cuando los impíos perecen, hay fiestas.
11 Por la bendición de los rectos la ciudad será engrandecida: Mas por la boca de los impíos ella será trastornada.
12 El que carece de entendimiento, menosprecia á su prójimo: Mas el hombre prudente calla.
13 El que anda en chismes, descubre el secreto: Mas el de espíritu fiel encubre la cosa.
14 Cuando faltaren las industrias, caerá el pueblo: Mas en la multitud de consejeros hay salud.
15 Con ansiedad será afligido el que fiare al extraño: Mas el que aborreciere las fianzas vivirá confiado.
16 La mujer graciosa tendrá honra: Y los fuertes tendrán riquezas.
17 A su alma hace bien el hombre misericordioso: Mas el cruel atormenta su carne.
18 El impío hace obra falsa: Mas el que sembrare justicia, tendrá galardón firme.
19 Como la justicia es para vida, Así el que sigue el mal es para su muerte.
20 Abominación son á Jehová los perversos de corazón: Mas los perfectos de camino le son agradables.
21 Aunque llegue la mano á la mano, el malo no quedará sin castigo: Mas la simiente de los justos escapará.
22 Zarcillo de oro en la nariz del puerco, Es la mujer hermosa y apartada de razón.
23 El deseo de los justos es solamente bien: Mas la esperanza de los impíos es enojo.
24 Hay quienes reparten, y les es añadido más: Y hay quienes son escasos más de lo que es justo, mas vienen á pobreza.
25 El alma liberal será engordada: Y el que saciare, él también será saciado.
26 Al que retiene el grano, el pueblo lo maldecirá: Mas bendición será sobre la cabeza del que vende.
27 El que madruga al bien, buscará favor: Mas el que busca el mal, vendrále.
28 El que confía en sus riquezas, caerá: Mas los justos reverdecerán como ramos.
29 El que turba su casa heredará viento; Y el necio será siervo del sabio de corazón.
30 El fruto del justo es árbol de vida: Y el que prende almas, es sabio.
31 Ciertamente el justo será pagado en la tierra: Cuánto más el impío y el pecador!

New International Version
3 The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.(E)
5 The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight,(I)
but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.(J)
6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.(K)
8 The righteous person is rescued from trouble,
and it falls on the wicked instead.(N)
9 With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors,
but through knowledge the righteous escape.(O)
10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;(P)
when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.(Q)
11 Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,(R)
but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.(S)
12 Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense,(T)
but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.(U)
15 Whoever puts up security(Z) for a stranger will surely suffer,
but whoever refuses to shake hands in pledge is safe.(AA)
16 A kindhearted woman gains honor,(AB)
but ruthless men gain only wealth.
17 Those who are kind benefit themselves,
but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.
18 A wicked person earns deceptive wages,
but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.(AC)
20 The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse,(AF)
but he delights(AG) in those whose ways are blameless.(AH)
21 Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished,
but those who are righteous will go free.(AI)
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.
24 One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
26 People curse the one who hoards grain,
but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell.
27 Whoever seeks good finds favor,
but evil comes to one who searches for it.(AL)
28 Those who trust in their riches will fall,(AM)
but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.(AN)
29 Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise.(AO)
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,(AP)
and the one who is wise saves lives.
31 If the righteous receive their due(AQ) on earth,
how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
