1. A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah; 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 the treacherous 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 treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.
7. When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth.
8. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead.
