Proverbs 11章 ESV | 微读圣经

111:1 ch. 16:11; 20:10, 23; See Lev. 19:35, 36A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,

11:1 [ch. 12:22]but a just weight is his delight.

211:2 ch. 16:18; 18:12; 29:23; [Dan. 4:30, 31] When pride comes, then comes disgrace,

but with 11:2 Mic. 6:8the humble is wisdom.

311:3 ch. 13:6The integrity of the upright guides them,

11:3 ch. 19:3but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

411:4 Zeph. 1:18; See ch. 10:2Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,

11:4 [Gen. 7:1]but righteousness delivers from death.

5The righteousness of the blameless 11:5 ch. 3:6keeps his way straight,

but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.

611:6 [See ver. 4above] The righteousness of the upright delivers them,

but the treacherous 11:6 See Ps. 7:15, 16are taken captive by their lust.

7When the wicked dies, his 11:7 ch. 10:28hope will perish,

and 11:7 See Job 8:13, 14the expectation of wealth11:7 Or of his strength, or of iniquity perishes too.

811:8 ver. 6; [ch. 21:18]The righteous is delivered from trouble,

and the wicked walks into it instead.

9With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,

but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.

1011:10 [ch. 28:12; Esth. 8:15]When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,

and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.

11By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,

but 11:11 Ps. 10:7by the mouth of the wicked 11:11 [ch. 14:1; 29:8]it is overthrown.

12Whoever 11:12 ch. 14:21; [Matt. 7:1]belittles his neighbor lacks sense,

but a man of understanding remains silent.

13Whoever 11:13 ch. 20:19; Lev. 19:16goes about slandering reveals secrets,

but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

14Where there is 11:14 ch. 15:22; 20:18; 24:6no guidance, a people falls,

11:14 ch. 15:22; 20:18; 24:6but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

1511:15 [ch. 6:1; Job 17:3]Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm,

but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

1611:16 [ch. 31:30] A gracious woman gets honor,

and 11:16 [Luke 11:21]violent men get riches.

1711:17 [Matt. 5:7]; See Matt. 25:34-40A man who is kind benefits himself,

but a cruel man hurts himself.

18The wicked earns deceptive wages,

but one who 11:18 Hos. 10:12; Gal. 6:8, 9; [James 3:18]sows righteousness gets a sure reward.

19Whoever is steadfast in righteousness 11:19 ch. 10:16; 19:23will live,

but 11:19 [Rom. 6:23; Gal. 6:8]he who pursues evil will die.

20Those of 11:20 [ch. 17:20] crooked heart are 11:20 ch. 12:22; 16:5an abomination to the Lord,

but those of 11:20 ch. 13:6; Ps. 119:1blameless ways are 11:20 1 Chr. 29:17his delight.

2111:21 ch. 16:5Be assured, 11:21 ch. 12:7; [Ps. 37:2, 9]; See Isa. 28:15-18an evil person will not go unpunished,

but 11:21 See Ps. 112:2the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.

22Like 11:22 [Gen. 24:47; Isa. 3:21; Ezek. 16:12]a gold ring in a pig’s snout

is a beautiful woman without discretion.

23The desire of the righteous ends only in good,

11:23 Rom. 2:8, 9the expectation of the wicked in wrath.

2411:24 ch. 13:7One gives 11:24 Ps. 37:21; 112:9; [ch. 19:17]freely, yet grows all the richer;

another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

2511:25 See 2 Cor. 9:6-11Whoever brings blessing 11:25 ch. 13:4; 28:25will be enriched,

and 11:25 [Matt. 7:2]one who waters will himself be watered.

2611:26 ch. 24:24The people curse him who holds back grain,

but 11:26 [Job 29:13] a blessing is on the head of him who 11:26 [Gen. 42:6]sells it.

27Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,11:27 Or acceptance

but evil comes to 11:27 See Ps. 7:16him who searches for it.

28Whoever 11:28 See Ps. 49:6trusts in his riches will fall,

but the righteous will 11:28 Jer. 17:8; See Ps. 92:12flourish like a green leaf.

29Whoever 11:29 ch. 15:27troubles his own household will 11:29 [Eccles. 5:16]inherit the wind,

and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

30The fruit of the righteous is 11:30 See ch. 3:18a tree of life,

and whoever 11:30 Dan. 12:3; James 5:20; See 1 Cor. 9:19-22captures souls is wise.

31If 11:31 [Jer. 25:29; 1 Pet. 4:18]the righteous is repaid on earth,

how much more the wicked and the sinner!
