Proverbs 11:1-7 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah; 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 the treacherous 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 the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.

7. When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth.
