Old Testament: Proverbs 11–12 Proverbs 11–12 (Listen) 11   A false balance is an abomination to the LORD,<br />    but a just weight is his delight.<br />2   When pride comes, then comes disgrace,<br />    but with the humble is wisdom.<br />3   The integrity of the upright guides them,<br />    but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.<br />4   Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,<br />    but righteousness delivers from death.<br />5   The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight,<br />    but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.<br />6   The righteousness of the upright delivers them,<br />    but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.<br />7   When the wicked dies, his hope will perish,<br />    and the expectation of wealth1 perishes too.<br />8   The righteous is delivered from trouble,<br />    and the wicked walks into it instead.<br />9   With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,<br />    but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.<br />10   When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,
