1
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is His delight.
2
When pride cometh, then cometh shame, but with the lowly is wisdom.
3
The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
4
Riches profit not in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivereth from death.
5
The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the transgressors shall be taken in their own wickedness.
7
When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
8
The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9
A hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor, but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
10
When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
