Proverbs 11:1-11

New King James Version

² When pride comes, then comes ^(B)shame;
But with the humble is wisdom.

³ The integrity of the upright will guide ^(C)them,
But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
^4 (D)Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But ^(E)righteousness delivers from death.
⁵ The righteousness of the blameless will ^[c]direct his way aright,
But the wicked will fall by his own ^(F)wickedness.
⁶ The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.

⁷ When a wicked man dies, his expectation will ^(G)perish,
And the hope of the unjust perishes.
^8 (H)The righteous is delivered from trouble,
And it comes to the wicked instead.
⁹ The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
^10 (I)When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices;
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
¹¹ By the blessing of the upright the city is ^(J)exalted,
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
