Proverbs 11:1-6 ▼

1 A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight.

2 When pride comes, then comes dishonor; But with the humble there is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the treacherous will destroy them.

4 Riches do not benefit on the day of wrath, But righteousness rescues from death.

5 The righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright will rescue them, But the treacherous will be caught by their own greed.
