Proverbs 11:1-7

1 Balances of deceit [are] an abomination of Yahweh, but {an accurate weight} delights him.

2 Pride comes, then disgrace comes, but wisdom [is] with the humble.

3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

4 Wealth does not profit on the day of wrath, but righteousness will deliver from death.

5 The righteousness of the blameless will keep his ways straight, but the wicked will fall by his wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright will save them, but by a scheme the treacherous will be taken captive.

7 With the death of a wicked person, hope will die, and the expectation of the godless perishes.
