NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Proverbs 11

Contrast the Upright and the Wicked

1

A  afalseh4820 balanceh3976 is an abominationh8441 to the LORDh3068, But a  bjusth8003 weighth68 is His delighth7522.

2

When  aprideh2087 comesh935, then comesh935 dishonorh7036, But with the humbleh6794a is wisdomh2451.

3

The  aintegrityh8538 of the uprighth3477 will guideh5148 them, But the  bcrookednessh5558 of the treacheroush898 will destroyh7703 them.

4

 aRichesh1952 do not profith3276 in the dayh3117 of wrathh5678, But  brighteousnessh6666 deliversh5337 from deathh4194.

5

The  arighteousnessh6666 of the blamelessh8549 will smoothh3474 his wayh1870, But  bthe wickedh7563 will fallh5307 by his own wickednessh7564.

6

The righteousnessh6666 of the uprighth3477 will deliverh5337 them, But the treacheroush898 will  abe caughth3920 by their own greedh1942.

7

When a wickedh7563 manh120 diesh4194, his  aexpectationh8615b will perishh6, And the  bhopeh8431 of strongh202 menh202 perishesh6.

8

The righteoush6662 is deliveredh2502a from troubleh6869a, But the wickedh7563  1takesh935 his placeh8478.

9

With his  amouthh6310 the godlessh2611 manh2611 destroysh7843 his neighborh7453, But through knowledgeh1847 the  brighteoush6662 will be deliveredh2502a.

10

When it  agoes wellh2898 with the righteoush6662, the cityh7151 rejoicesh5970, And when the wickedh7563 perishh6, there is joyfulh7440 shoutingh7440.

11

By the blessingh1293 of the uprighth3477 a cityh7176 is exaltedh7311, But by the mouthh6310 of the wickedh7563 it is tornh2040 downh2040.

12

He who despisesh936 his neighborh7453 lacksh2638  1senseh3820, But a manh376 of understandingh8394 keepsh2790b silenth2790b.

13

He  awho goesh1980 about as a talebearerh7400 revealsh1540 secretsh5475, But he who is  1trustworthyh539h7307  bconcealsh3680 a matterh1697.

14

Where thereh369 is noh369  aguidanceh8458 the peopleh5971a fallh5307, But in abundanceh7230 of counselorsh3289 there is  1victoryh8668.

15

He who is  aguarantorh6148 for a strangerh2114a will surelyh7451b sufferh7489a for it, But he who hatesh8130  1being a guarantorh8628 is secureh982.

16

A  agracioush2580 womanh802 attainsh8551 honorh3519b, And ruthlessh6184 menh6184 attainh8551 richesh6239.

17

The  amercifulh2617a manh376 doesh1580  1himselfh5315 goodh2617a, But the cruelh394 manh394  2doesh5916 himselfh7607 harmh5916.

18

The wickedh7563 earnsh6213a deceptiveh8267 wagesh7938, But he who  asowsh2232 righteousnessh6666 gets a trueh571 rewardh7938.

19

He whoh3653a is steadfasth3653a in  arighteousnessh6666 will attain to lifeh2425b, And  bhe who pursuesh7291 evilh7463a will bring about his own deathh4194.

20

The perverseh6141 in hearth3820 are an abominationh8441 to the LORDh3068, But the  ablamelessh8549 in their  1walkh1870 are His  bdelighth7522.

21

 1Assuredlyh3027, the evilh7451a manh7451a will not goh5352 unpunishedh5352, But the  2descendantsh2233 of the righteoush6662 will be deliveredh4422.

22

As a  aringh5141 of goldh2091 in a swine'sh2386 snouth639 So is a beautifulh3303 womanh802 who lacksh5493  1discretionh2940.

23

The desireh8378 of the righteoush6662 is onlyh389 goodh2896b, But the  aexpectationh8615b of the wickedh7563 is wrathh5678.

24

Thereh3426 is one who scattersh6340, and yet increasesh3254 allh5750 the moreh5750, And there is one who withholdsh2820 whath3476 is justlyh3476 dueh3476, and yet it results onlyh389 in wanth4270.

25

The  1 ageneroush1293 manh5315 will be  2prosperoush1878, And he who  bwatersh7301 will himselfh1931 be wateredh3372b.

26

He who withholdsh4513 grainh1250, the  apeopleh3816 will curseh6895 him, But  bblessingh1293 will be on the headh7218 of him who  csellsh7666 it.

27

He who diligentlyh7836 seeksh7836 goodh2896b seeksh1245 favorh7522, But  ahe who seeksh1875 evilh7463a, evil will comeh935 to him.

28

He who  atrustsh982 in his richesh6239 will fallh5307, But  bthe righteoush6662 will flourishh6524a like the green leafh5929.

29

He who  atroublesh5916 his own househ1004 will  binherith5157 windh7307, And  cthe foolishh191 will be servanth5650 to the wiseheartedh2450.

30

The fruith6529 of the righteoush6662 is  aa treeh6086 of lifeh2425b, And  bhe who is wiseh2450  1winsh3947 soulsh5315.

31

Ifh2005  athe righteoush6662 will be rewardedh7999a in the earthh776, Howh637 muchh637h3588 moreh637 the wickedh7563 and the sinnerh2398!
