Proverbios 11
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
11 La balanza falsa es abominación al Señor(A),
Pero el peso cabal es Su deleite(B).
2 Cuando viene la soberbia, viene también la deshonra;
Pero la sabiduría está con los humildes(C).
3 La integridad de los rectos los guiará,
Pero la perversidad de los traidores los destruirá(D).
4 De nada sirven las riquezas el día de la ira(E),
Pero la justicia libra de la muerte(F).
5 La justicia del íntegro[a] enderezará su camino(G),
Pero el impío caerá por su propia impiedad(H).
6 La justicia de los rectos los librará,
Pero los traidores en su codicia serán atrapados(I).
7 Cuando muere el hombre impío, su esperanza se acaba(J),
Y la expectación(K) de los poderosos perece.
8 El justo es librado de tribulación,
Y el impío toma[b] su lugar.
9 Con la boca el impío destruye a su prójimo(L),
Pero por el conocimiento los justos serán librados(M).
10 Con el bien de los justos, se regocija la ciudad(N),
Y cuando perecen los impíos, hay gritos de alegría.
11 Por la bendición de los rectos, se enaltece la ciudad,
Pero por la boca de los impíos, es derribada.
12 El que desprecia a su prójimo carece de entendimiento[c],
Pero el hombre prudente guarda silencio.
13 El que anda en chismes revela secretos(O),
Pero el de espíritu leal oculta las cosas(P).
14 Donde no hay buen consejo, el pueblo cae,
Pero en la abundancia de consejeros está la victoria[d](Q).
15 Ciertamente sufrirá el que sale fiador por un extraño(R),
Pero el que odia salir fiador[e] está seguro.
16 La mujer agraciada alcanza honra(S),
Y los poderosos[f] alcanzan riquezas.
17 El hombre misericordioso se hace bien a sí mismo[g](T),
Pero el cruel a sí mismo se hace daño[h].
18 El impío gana salario engañoso,
Pero el que siembra justicia recibe verdadera recompensa(U).
19 El que persiste en la justicia alcanzará la vida(V),
Y el que va en pos del mal, su propia muerte(W).
20 Los de corazón perverso son abominación al Señor,
Pero los de camino intachable[i](X) son Su deleite(Y).
21 Ciertamente[j] el malvado no quedará sin castigo,
Pero la descendencia[k] de los justos será librada.
22 Como anillo de oro en el hocico de un cerdo(Z)
Es la mujer hermosa que carece de discreción[l].
23 El deseo de los justos es solo el bien,
Pero la esperanza de los malvados es la ira(AA).
24 Hay quien reparte, y le es añadido más,
Y hay quien retiene lo que es justo, solo para venir a menos.
25 El alma generosa[m] será prosperada[n](AB),
Y el que riega será también regado(AC).
26 Al que retiene el grano, el pueblo lo maldecirá(AD),
Pero habrá bendición(AE) sobre la cabeza del que lo vende(AF).
27 El que con diligencia busca el bien, se procura favor,
Pero el que busca el mal, este le vendrá(AG).
28 El que confía en sus riquezas(AH), caerá,
Pero los justos prosperarán como la hoja verde(AI).
29 El que turba su casa(AJ), heredará viento(AK),
Y el necio será siervo del sabio de corazón(AL).
30 El fruto del justo es árbol de vida(AM),
Y el que gana[o] almas es sabio(AN).
31 Si el justo es recompensado(AO) en la tierra,
¡Cuánto más el impío y el pecador!

Proverbs 11
New International Version
Proverbs 11
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!

The Folly of Wickedness
2 When pride comes, then comes (B)shame;
But with the humble is wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright will guide (C)them,
But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
4 (D)Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But (E)righteousness delivers from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will [c]direct his way aright,
But the wicked will fall by his own (F)wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation will (G)perish,
And the hope of the unjust perishes.
8 (H)The righteous is delivered from trouble,
And it comes to the wicked instead.
9 The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
10 (I)When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices;
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is (J)exalted,
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 He who [d]is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor,
But a man of understanding holds his peace.
14 (M)Where there is no counsel, the people fall;
But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
16 A gracious woman retains honor,
But ruthless men retain riches.
17 (O)The merciful man does good for his own soul,
But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
18 The wicked man does deceptive work,
But (P)he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward.
19 As righteousness leads to (Q)life,
So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own (R)death.
20 Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord,
But the blameless in their ways are His delight.
21 (S)Though they join [g]forces, the wicked will not go unpunished;
But (T)the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
22 As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a lovely woman who lacks [h]discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good,
But the expectation of the wicked (U)is wrath.
24 There is one who (V)scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.
25 (W)The generous soul will be made rich,
(X)And he who waters will also be watered himself.
26 The people will curse (Y)him who withholds grain,
But (Z)blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
29 He who troubles his own house (AD)will inherit the wind,
And the fool will be (AE)servant to the wise of heart.
31 (AG)If the righteous will be [k]recompensed on the earth,
How much more the ungodly and the sinner.
