Proverbs
Chapters 11:1-7
New International Version Anglicized
1The Lord detests dishonest scales,but accurate weights find favour with him.
2When pride comes, then comes disgrace,but with humility comes wisdom.
3The integrity of the upright guides them,but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
4Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,but righteousness delivers from death.
5The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight,but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.
6The righteousness of the upright delivers them,but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.
7Hopes placed in mortals die with them;all the promise of their power comes to nothing.
