Proverbs 11:11-21

  1. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

  2. He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

  3. A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

  4. Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

  5. He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

  6. A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

  7. The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

  8. The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

  9. As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

  10. They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

  11. Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
