New King James Version

Proverbs 11:1-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord,But a just weight is His delight.

2. When pride comes, then comes shame;But with the humble is wisdom.

3. The integrity of the upright will guide them,But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.

4. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,But righteousness delivers from death.

5. The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright,But the wicked will fall by his own 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 perish,And the hope of the unjust perishes.
