| Proverbs 11:2 | When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. | Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom. | When pride comes, there comes shame, but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit. | Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly [is] wisdom. |
| Proverbs 11:3 | The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. | The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them. | The righteousness of the upright will be their guide, but the twisted ways of the false will be their destruction. | The integrity of the upright leadeth them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroyeth them. |
| Proverbs 11:4 | Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. | Riches shall not profit in the day of revenge: but justice shall deliver from death. | Wealth is of no profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness keeps a man safe from death. | Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivereth from death. |
| Proverbs 11:5 | The righteousness of the perfect shall 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. | 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 perfect maketh right his way, And by his wickedness doth the wicked fall. |
| Proverbs 11:6 | The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. | The justice of the righteous shall deliver them: and the unjust shall be caught in their own snares. | 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 delivereth them, And in mischief the treacherous are captured. |
| Proverbs 11:7 | When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. | When the wicked man is dead, there shall be no hope any more: and the expectation of the solicitous shall perish. | 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. | In the death of a wicked man, hope perisheth, And the expectation of the iniquitous hath been lost. |
| Proverbs 11:8 | The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. | The just is delivered out of distress: and the wicked shall be given up for him. | The upright man is taken out of trouble, and in his place comes the sinner. | The righteous from distress is drawn out, And the wicked goeth in instead of him. |

| Proverbs 11:10 | When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and 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. | When things go well for the upright man, all the town is glad; at the death of sinners, there are cries of joy. | In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked [is] singing. |
| 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 just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown. | 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 is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down. |

| Proverbs 11:13 | A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. | He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend. | He who goes about talking of others makes secrets public, but the true-hearted man keeps things covered. | A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter. |

| Proverbs 11:16 | A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches. | A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have 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 retaineth honour, And terrible [men] retain riches. |
| Proverbs 11:17 | The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. | A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred. | The man who has mercy will be rewarded, but the cruel man is the cause of trouble to himself. | A kind man is rewarding his own soul, And the fierce is troubling his own flesh. |

| Proverbs 11:19 | As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. | Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death. | So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself. | Rightly [is] righteousness for life, And whoso is pursuing evil for his own death. |
| Proverbs 11:20 | They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. | A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely. | The uncontrolled are hated by the Lord, but those whose ways are without error are his delight | An abomination to Jehovah [are] the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way [are] His delight. |

| Proverbs 11:22 | As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. | A golden ring in a swine's snout, a woman fair and foolish. | Like a ring of gold in the nose of a pig, is a beautiful woman who has no sense. | A ring of gold in the nose of a sow A fair woman and stubborn of behaviour. |
| Proverbs 11:23 | The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. | The desire of the just is all good: the expectation of the wicked is indignation. | 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 hope of the wicked [is] transgression. |
| Proverbs 11:24 | There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. | Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in 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 who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want. |
| Proverbs 11:25 | The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. | The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself. | He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed. | A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered. |

| Proverbs 11:27 | He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. | Well doth he rise early who seeketh good things; but he that seeketh after evil things shall be oppressed by them. | 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. | Whoso is earnestly seeking good Seeketh a pleasing thing, And whoso is seeking evil it meeteth him. |
