Proverbs 11:1-9

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.
