Proverbs 11:1-6 ▼

1 The LORD hates false scales, but he delights in accurate weights.

2 When pride appears, disgrace accompanies it, but humility is present with wisdom.

3 The integrity of the righteous guides them, but the hypocrisy of the treacherous destroys them.

4 Wealth won't help in the time of judgment, but righteousness will deliver from death.

5 The righteousness of the innocent creates a level path, but the wicked fall by their wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are trapped by their evil desires.
