11:1

A false
<04820>

balance
<03976>

[is] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but a just
<08003>

weight
<068>

[is] his delight
<07522>_.

{A false...: Heb. Balances of deceit} {just...: Heb. perfect stone}

11:2

[When] pride
<02087>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_,

then cometh
<0935> (8799)

shame
<07036>_:

but with the lowly
<06800> (8803)

[is] wisdom
<02451>_.

11:3

The integrity
<08538>

of the upright
<03477>

shall guide
<05148> (8686)

them: but the perverseness
<05558>

of transgressors
<0898> (8802)

shall destroy
<07703> (8799) (8675) <07703> (8804)

them.

11:4

Riches
<01952>

profit
<03276> (8686)

not in the day
<03117>

of wrath
<05678>_:

but righteousness
<06666>

delivereth
<05337> (8686)

from death
<04194>_.

11:5

The righteousness
<06666>

of the perfect
<08549>

shall direct
<03474> (8762)

his way
<01870>_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by his own wickedness
<07564>_.

{direct: Heb. rectify}

11:6

The righteousness
<06666>

of the upright
<03477>

shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

them: but transgressors
<0898> (8802)

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)

in [their own] naughtiness
<01942>_.

11:7

When a wicked
<07563>

man
<0120>

dieth
<04194>_,

[his] expectation
<08615>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_:

and the hope
<08431>

of unjust
<0205>

[men] perisheth
<06> (8804)_.
