11:001

A false balance is an abomination to HaShem; but a perfect weight is His delight

11:002

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

11:003

The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them

11:004

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

11:005

The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness

11:006

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device

11:007

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth

11:008

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

11:009

With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered

11:010

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

11:011

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

11:012

He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace

11:013

He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter

11:014

Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety

11:015

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure

11:016

A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches

11:017

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh

11:018

The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward

11:019

Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death

11:020

They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to HaShem; but such as are upright in their way are His delight

11:021

My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape

11:022

As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion

11:023

The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath

11:024

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want

11:025

The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself

11:026

He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it

11:027

He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him

11:028

He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage

11:029

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart

11:030

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls

11:031

Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner
