Proverbs 11:1-11 ▼

1 A false balaunce is an abhominacion vnto the LORDE, but a true weight pleaseth him.

2 Where pryde is, there is shame also and confucion: but where as is lowlynes, there is wysdome.

3 The innocent dealynge of the iust shal lede them, but the vnfaithfulnesse of the despysers shalbe their owne destruccion.

4 Riches helpe not in the daye of vengeaunce, but rightuousnesse delyuereth fro death.

5 The rightuousnes of ye innocent ordreth his waye, but the vngodly shal fall in his owne wickednesse.

6 The rightuousnesse of the iust shal delyuer them, but the despysers shalbe taken in their owne vngodlynesse.

7 When an vngodly man dyeth, his hope is gone, the confydence of riches shal perish.

8 The rightuous shalbe delyuered out of trouble, & the vngodly shal come in his steade.

9 Thorow ye mouth of ye dyssembler is his neghboure destroyed, but thorow knowlege shal the iust be delyuered.

10 When it goeth well with the rightuous, the cite is mery: and when the vngodly perish, there is gladnesse.

11 When the iust are in wealth, the cite prospereth: but whan the vngodly haue the rule, it decayeth.
