1
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, But accurate weights are his delight.
2
When pride comes, then comes shame, But with humility comes wisdom.
3
The integrity of the upright shall guide them, But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
4
Riches don't profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.
5
The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, But the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
7
When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, And expectation of power comes to nothing.
8
The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked takes his place.
9
With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, But the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
