| Proverbs 11:4 | Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death. | Wealth is of no profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness keeps a man safe from death. | Riches don't profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death. | Riches shall not profit in the day of revenge: but justice shall deliver from death. |
| Proverbs 11:5 | The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way; But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. | The righteousness of the good man will make his way straight, but the sin of the evil-doer will be the cause of his fall. | The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. | The justice of the upright shall make his way prosperous: and the wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness. |
| Proverbs 11:6 | The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity. | The righteousness of the upright will be their salvation, but the false will themselves be taken in their evil designs. | The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, But the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires. | The justice of the righteous shall deliver them: and the unjust shall be caught in their own snares. |
| Proverbs 11:7 | When a wicked man dieth, [his] expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth. | At the death of an upright man his hope does not come to an end, but the hope of the evil-doer comes to destruction. | When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, And expectation of power comes to nothing. | When the wicked man is dead, there shall be no hope any more: and the expectation of the solicitous shall perish. |
| Proverbs 11:8 | The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead. | The upright man is taken out of trouble, and in his place comes the sinner. | The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked takes his place. | The just is delivered out of distress: and the wicked shall be given up for him. |

| Proverbs 11:10 | When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; And when the wicked perish, there is shouting. | When things go well for the upright man, all the town is glad; at the death of sinners, there are cries of joy. | When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting. | When it goeth well with the just the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish there shall be praise. |
| Proverbs 11:11 | By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted; But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. | By the blessing of the upright man the town is made great, but it is overturned by the mouth of the evil-doer. | By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. | By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown. |

| Proverbs 11:13 | He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter. | He who goes about talking of others makes secrets public, but the true-hearted man keeps things covered. | One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, But one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret. | He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend. |

| Proverbs 11:16 | A gracious woman obtaineth honor; And violent men obtain riches. | A woman who is full of grace is honoured, but a woman hating righteousness is a seat of shame: those hating work will undergo loss, but the strong keep their wealth. | A gracious woman obtains honor, But violent men obtain riches. | A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches. |
| Proverbs 11:17 | The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. | The man who has mercy will be rewarded, but the cruel man is the cause of trouble to himself. | The merciful man does good to his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh. | A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred. |

| Proverbs 11:19 | He that is stedfast in righteousness [shall attain] unto life; And he that pursueth evil [doeth it] to his own death. | So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself. | He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death. | Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death. |
| Proverbs 11:20 | They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah; But such as are perfect in [their] way are his delight. | The uncontrolled are hated by the Lord, but those whose ways are without error are his delight | Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, But those whose ways are blameless are his delight. | A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely. |

| Proverbs 11:22 | [As] a ring of gold in a swine's snout, [So is] a fair woman that is without discretion. | Like a ring of gold in the nose of a pig, is a beautiful woman who has no sense. | Like a gold ring in a pig's snout, Is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion. | A golden ring in a swine's snout, a woman fair and foolish. |
| Proverbs 11:23 | The desire of the righteous is only good; [But] the expectation of the wicked is wrath. | The desire of the upright man is only for good, but wrath is waiting for the evil-doer. | The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath. | The desire of the just is all good: the expectation of the wicked is indignation. |
| Proverbs 11:24 | There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] only to want. | A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need. | There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty. | Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want. |
| Proverbs 11:25 | The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself. | He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed. | The liberal soul shall be made fat.

| Proverbs 11:26 | He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. | He who keeps back grain will be cursed by the people; but a blessing will be on the head of him who lets them have it for a price. | He who withholds grain, the people will curse him, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. | He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell. |
| Proverbs 11:27 | He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him. | He who, with all his heart, goes after what is good is searching for grace; but he who is looking for trouble will get it. | He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, But he who searches after evil, it shall come to him. | Well doth he rise early who seeketh good things; but he that seeketh after evil things shall be oppressed by them. |
