Daily Meditation
5 The righteousness
of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own
wickedness.
Today’s Reading
Proverbs 11
With The Lowly Is
Wisdom
1 A false balance is
abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.
2 When pride cometh,
then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
3 The integrity of
the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall
destroy them.
4 Riches profit not
in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
5 The righteousness
of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own
wickedness.
6 The righteousness
of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their
own naughtiness.
7 When a wicked man
dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
8 The righteous is
delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9 An hypocrite with
his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be
delivered.
10 When it goeth
well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there
is shouting.
11 By the blessing
of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the
wicked.
12 He that is void
of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his
peace.
13 A talebearer
revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14 Where no counsel
is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15 He that is surety
for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
16 A gracious woman
retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.
17 The merciful man
doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18 The wicked
worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure
reward.
19 As righteousness
tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20 They that are of
a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their
way are his delight.
21 Though hand join
in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous
shall be delivered.
22 As a jewel of
gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
23 The desire of the
righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 There is that
scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is
meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
25 The liberal soul
shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26 He that
withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the
head of him that selleth it.
27 He that
diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it
shall come unto him.
28 He that trusteth
in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
29 He that troubleth
his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise
of heart.
30 The fruit of the
righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
31 Behold, the righteous
shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
