Proverbs 11

KING JAMES BIBLE	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.	1 מֹאזְנֵי מִרְמָה תֹּועֲבַת יְהוָה וְאֶבֶן שְׁלֵמָה רְצֹונֹו
2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.	2 בָּא־זָדֹון וַיָּבֹא קָלֹון וְאֶת־צְנוּעִים חָכְמָה
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.	3 תֻּמַּת יְשָׁרִים תַּנְחֵם וְסֶלֶף בֹּוגְדִים [וְשַׁדָּם כ] (יְשָׁדֵּם׃ ק)
4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.	4 לֹא־יֹועִיל הֹון בְּיֹום עֶבְרָה וּצְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּוֶת
5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.	5 צִדְקַת תָּמִים תְּיַשֵּׁר דַּרְכֹּו וּבְרִשְׁעָתֹו יִפֹּל רָשָׁע
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.	6 צִדְקַת יְשָׁרִים תַּצִּילֵם וּבְהַוַּת בֹּגְדִים יִלָּכֵדוּ
7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.	7 בְּמֹות אָדָם רָשָׁע תֹּאבַד תִּקְוָה וְתֹוחֶלֶת אֹונִים אָבָדָה
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.	8 צַדִּיק מִצָּרָה נֶחֱלָץ וַיָּבֹא רָשָׁע תַּחְתָּיו
9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.	9 בְּפֶה חָנֵף יַשְׁחִת רֵעֵהוּ וּבְדַעַת צַדִּיקִים יֵחָלֵצוּ
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.	10 בְּטוּב צַדִּיקִים תַּעֲלֹץ קִרְיָה וּבַאֲבֹד רְשָׁעִים רִנָּה
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.	11 בְּבִרְכַּת יְשָׁרִים תָּרוּם קָרֶת וּבְפִי רְשָׁעִים תֵּהָרֵס
12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.	12 בָּז־לְרֵעֵהוּ חֲסַר־לֵב וְאִישׁ תְּבוּנֹות יַחֲרִישׁ
13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.	13 הֹולֵךְ רָכִיל מְגַלֶּה־סֹּוד וְנֶאֱמַן־רוּחַ מְכַסֶּה דָבָר
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.	14 בְּאֵין תַּחְבֻּלֹות יִפָּל־עָם וּתְשׁוּעָה בְּרֹב יֹועֵץ
15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.	15 רַע־יֵרֹועַ כִּי־עָרַב זָר וְשֹׂנֵא תֹקְעִים בֹּוטֵחַ
16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.	16 אֵשֶׁת־חֵן תִּתְמֹךְ כָּבֹוד וְעָרִיצִים יִתְמְכוּ־עֹשֶׁר
17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.	17 גֹּמֵל נַפְשֹׁו אִישׁ חָסֶד וְעֹכֵר אֵרֹו אַכְזָרִי
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.	18 רָשָׁע עֹשֶׂה פְעֻלַּת־שָׁקֶר וְזֹרֵעַ צְדָקָה שֶׂכֶר אֱמֶת
19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.	19 כֵּן־צְדָקָה לְחַיִּים וּמְרַדֵּף רָעָה לְמֹותֹו
20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.	20 תֹּועֲבַת יְהוָה עִקְּשֵׁי־לֵב וּרְצֹונֹו תְּמִימֵי דָרֶךְ
21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.	21 יָד לְיָד לֹא־יִנָּקֶה רָּע וְזֶרַע צַדִּיקִים נִמְלָט
22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.	22 נֶזֶם זָהָב בְּאַף חֲזִיר אִשָּׁה יָפָה וְסָרַת טָעַם
23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.	23 תַּאֲוַת צַדִּיקִים אַךְ־טֹוב תִּקְוַת רְשָׁעִים עֶבְרָה
24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.	24 יֵשׁ מְפַזֵּר וְנֹוסָף עֹוד וְחֹושֵׂךְ מִיֹּשֶׁר אַךְ־לְמַחְסֹור
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.	25 נֶפֶשׁ־בְּרָכָה תְדֻשָּׁן וּמַרְוֶה גַּם־הוּא יֹורֶא
26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.	26 מֹנֵעַ בָּר יִקְּבֻהוּ לְאֹום וּבְרָכָה לְרֹאשׁ מַשְׁבִּיר
27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.	27 שֹׁחֵר טֹוב יְבַקֵּשׁ רָצֹון וְדֹרֵשׁ רָעָה תְבֹואֶנּוּ
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.	28 בֹּוטֵחַ בְּעָשְׁרֹו הוּא יִפֹּל וְכֶעָלֶה צַדִּיקִים יִפְרָחוּ
29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.	29 עֹוכֵר בֵּיתֹו יִנְחַל־רוּחַ וְעֶבֶד אֱוִיל לַחֲכַם־לֵב
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.	30 פְּרִי־צַדִּיק עֵץ חַיִּים וְלֹקֵחַ נְפָשֹׂות חָכָם
31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.	31 הֵן צַדִּיק בָּאָרֶץ יְשֻׁלָּם אַף כִּי־רָשָׁע וְחֹוטֵא
