Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Proverbs 11 opens declaring that a false balance is an abomination to the Lord but a just weight is His delight. It contrasts pride with humility, and shows that a city rises or falls by the influence of the righteous or the wicked. The chapter closes noting that troubling one's own house brings ruin, that the righteous flourish like a tree of life, and that both righteous and wicked will be recompensed.
