Proverbs 11 continues with further random wisdom sayings from Solomon. He starts saying that God abhors dishonest scales and that accurate weights are his delight. He then says that pride comes before disgrace... when a wicked man dies his hope perishes... the righteous man is rescued from trouble... a man who lacks judgement derides his neighbour, but a man of understanding holds his tongue... a gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret... the Lord detests men of perverse heart, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless... like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful women who shows no discretion... the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.
