Proverbs Chapter 11

11:6
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but the transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

11:12-14
He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.

11:22
As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

11:24-26
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

11:29
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
