The Folly of Wickedness

11Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight.H4820H3976H8441H3068H8003H68H7522 2When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.H2087H935H935H7036H6800H2451 3The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.H8538H3477H5148H5558H898H7703H7703 4Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.H1952H3276H3117H5678H6666H5337H4194 5The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.H6666H8549H3474H1870H7563H5307H7564 6The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.H6666H3477H5337H898H3920H1942 7When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of the unjust perishes.H7563H120H4194H8615H6H8431H205H6 8The righteous is delivered from trouble, And it comes to the wicked instead.H6662H2502H6869H7563H935 9The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.H2611H6310H7843H7453H1847H6662H2502 10When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.H2898H6662H7151H5970H7563H6H7440 11By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.H1293H3477H7176H7311H2040H6310H7563 12He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, But a man of understanding holds his peace.H2638H3820H936H7453H376H8394H2790 13A talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.H1980H7400H1540H5475H539H7307H3680H1697 14Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.H8458H5971H5307H7230H3289H8668 15He who is surety for a stranger will suffer, But one who hates being surety is secure.H6148H2114H7321H7451H8130H8628H982 16A gracious woman retains honor, But ruthless men retain riches.H2580H802H8551H3519H6184H8551H6239 17The merciful man does good for his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.H2617H376H1580H5315H394H5916H7607 18The wicked man does deceptive work, But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward.H7563H6213H8267H6468H2232H6666H571H7938 19As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.H6666H2416H7291H7451H4194 20Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the LORD, But the blameless in their ways are His delight.H6141H3820H8441H3068H8549H1870H7522 21Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.H3027H3027H7451H5352H2233H6662H4422 22As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion.H5141H2091H2386H639H3303H802H5493H2940 23The desire of the righteous is only good, But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.H8378H6662H2896H8615H7563H5678 24There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty.H3426H6340H3254H2820H3476H4270 25The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.H1293H5315H1878H7301H3384 26The people will curse him who withholds grain, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.H4513H1250H3816H5344H1293H7218H7666 27He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, But trouble will come to him who seeks evil.H7836H2896H1245H7522H1875H7451H935 28He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage.H982H6239H5307H6662H6524H5929 29He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.H5916H1004H5157H7307H191H5650H2450H3820 30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.H6529H6662H6086H2416H3947H5315H2450 31If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth, How much more the ungodly and the sinner.H6662H7999H776H7563H2398
