20:011:002 When pride cometh, then cometh shame:
but with the lowly is
wisdom.
20:011:003 The integrity of the upright shall guide
them: but the
perverseness
of transgressors shall destroy them.
20:011:004 Riches profit not in the day of wrath:
but righteousness
delivereth
from death.
20:011:005 The righteousness of the perfect shall
direct his way: but the
wicked
shall fall by his own wickedness.
20:011:006 The righteousness of the upright shall
deliver them: but
transgressors
shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
20:011:007 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation
shall perish: and the
hope
of unjust men perisheth.
20:011:008 The righteous is delivered out of trouble,
and the wicked
cometh
in his stead.
20:011:009 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth
his neighbour: but
through
knowledge shall the just be delivered.
20:011:010 When it goeth well with the righteous,
the city rejoiceth: and
when
the wicked perish, there is shouting.
20:011:011 By the blessing of the upright the city
is exalted: but it is
overthrown
by the mouth of the wicked.
20:011:012 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his
neighbour: but a man
of
understanding holdeth his peace.
20:011:013 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but
he that is of a faithful
spirit
concealeth the matter.
20:011:014 Where no counsel is, the people fall:
but in the multitude of
counsellors
there is safety.
20:011:015 He that is surety for a stranger shall
smart for it: and he
that
hateth suretiship is sure.
20:011:016 A gracious woman retaineth honour:
and strong men retain
riches.
20:011:017 The merciful man doeth good to his own
soul: but he that is
cruel
troubleth his own flesh.
20:011:018 The wicked worketh a deceitful work:
but to him that soweth
righteousness
shall be a sure reward.
20:011:019 As righteousness tendeth to life:
so he that pursueth evil
pursueth
it to his own death.
20:011:020 They that are of a froward heart are abomination
to the lord:
but
such as are upright in their way are his delight.
20:011:021 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall
not be unpunished:
but
the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
20:011:022 As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout,
so is a fair woman
which
is without discretion.
20:011:023 The desire of the righteous is only good:
but the expectation
of
the wicked is wrath.
20:011:024 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;
and there is
that
withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
