A false{H4820} balance{H3976} is abomination{H8441} to the LORD{H3068}: but a just{H8003} weight{H68} is his delight{H7522}.

When pride{H2087} cometh{H935}{(H8804)}, then cometh{H935}{(H8799)} shame{H7036}: but with the lowly{H6800}{(H8803)} is wisdom{H2451}.

The integrity{H8538} of the upright{H3477} shall guide{H5148}{(H8686)} them: but the perverseness{H5558} of transgressors{H898}{(H8802)} shall destroy{H7703}{(H8799)}{(H8675)}{H7703}{(H8804)} them.

Riches{H1952} profit{H3276}{(H8686)} not in the day{H3117} of wrath{H5678}: but righteousness{H6666} delivereth{H5337}{(H8686)} from death{H4194}.

The righteousness{H6666} of the perfect{H8549} shall direct{H3474}{(H8762)} his way{H1870}: but the wicked{H7563} shall fall{H5307}{(H8799)} by his own wickedness{H7564}.

The righteousness{H6666} of the upright{H3477} shall deliver{H5337}{(H8686)} them: but transgressors{H898}{(H8802)} shall be taken{H3920}{(H8735)} in their own naughtiness{H1942}.

When a wicked{H7563} man{H120} dieth{H4194}, his expectation{H8615} shall perish{H6}{(H8799)}: and the hope{H8431} of unjust{H205} men perisheth{H6}{(H8804)}.

The righteous{H6662} is delivered out{H2502}{(H8738)} of trouble{H6869}, and the wicked{H7563} cometh{H935}{(H8799)} in his stead.

An hypocrite{H2611} with his mouth{H6310} destroyeth{H7843}{(H8686)} his neighbour{H7453}: but through knowledge{H1847} shall the just{H6662} be delivered{H2502}{(H8735)}.

When it goeth well{H2898} with the righteous{H6662}, the city{H7151} rejoiceth{H5970}{(H8799)}: and when the wicked{H7563} perish{H6}{(H8800)}, there is shouting{H7440}.

By the blessing{H1293} of the upright{H3477} the city{H7176} is exalted{H7311}{(H8799)}: but it is overthrown{H2040}{(H8735)} by the mouth{H6310} of the wicked{H7563}.

He that is void{H2638} of wisdom{H3820} despiseth{H936}{(H8802)} his neighbour{H7453}: but a man{H376} of understanding{H8394} holdeth his peace{H2790}{(H8686)}.

A talebearer{H1980}{(H8802)}{H7400} revealeth{H1540}{(H8764)} secrets{H5475}: but he that is of a faithful{H539}{(H8738)} spirit{H7307} concealeth{H3680}{(H8764)} the matter{H1697}.

Where no counsel{H8458} is, the people{H5971} fall{H5307}{(H8799)}: but in the multitude{H7230} of counsellors{H3289}{(H8802)} there is safety{H8668}.

He that is surety{H6148}{(H8804)} for a stranger{H2114}{(H8801)} shall smart{H7321}{(H8735)}{H7451} for it: and he that hateth{H8130}{(H8802)} suretiship{H8628}{(H8802)} is sure{H982}{(H8802)}.

A gracious{H2580} woman{H802} retaineth{H8551}{(H8799)} honour{H3519}: and strong{H6184} men retain{H8551}{(H8799)} riches{H6239}.

The merciful{H2617} man{H376} doeth good{H1580}{(H8802)} to his own soul{H5315}: but he that is cruel{H394} troubleth{H5916}{(H8802)} his own flesh{H7607}.

The wicked{H7563} worketh{H6213}{(H8802)} a deceitful{H8267} work{H6468}: but to him that soweth{H2232}{(H8802)} righteousness{H6666} shall be a sure{H571} reward{H7938}.

As righteousness{H6666} tendeth to life{H2416}: so he that pursueth{H7291}{(H8764)} evil{H7451} pursueth it to his own death{H4194}.

They that are of a froward{H6141} heart{H3820} are abomination{H8441} to the LORD{H3068}: but such as are upright{H8549} in their way{H1870} are his delight{H7522}.

Though hand{H3027} join in hand{H3027}, the wicked{H7451} shall not be unpunished{H5352}{(H8735)}: but the seed{H2233} of the righteous{H6662} shall be delivered{H4422}{(H8738)}.

As a jewel{H5141} of gold{H2091} in a swine's{H2386} snout{H639}, so is a fair{H3303} woman{H802} which is without{H5493}{(H8802)} discretion{H2940}.

The desire{H8378} of the righteous{H6662} is only good{H2896}: but the expectation{H8615} of the wicked{H7563} is wrath{H5678}.

There is{H3426} that scattereth{H6340}{(H8764)}, and yet increaseth{H3254}{(H8737)}; and there is that withholdeth{H2820}{(H8802)} more than is meet{H3476}, but it tendeth to poverty{H4270}.

The liberal{H1293} soul{H5315} shall be made fat{H1878}{(H8792)}: and he that watereth{H7301}{(H8688)} shall be watered{H3384}{(H8686)} also himself.

He that withholdeth{H4513}{(H8802)} corn{H1250}, the people{H3816} shall curse{H5344}{(H8799)} him: but blessing{H1293} shall be upon the head{H7218} of him that selleth{H7666}{(H8688)} it.

He that diligently seeketh{H7836}{(H8802)} good{H2896} procureth{H1245}{(H8762)} favour{H7522}: but he that seeketh{H1875}{(H8802)} mischief{H7451}, it shall come{H935}{(H8799)} unto him.

He that trusteth{H982}{(H8802)} in his riches{H6239} shall fall{H5307}{(H8799)}: but the righteous{H6662} shall flourish{H6524}{(H8799)} as a branch{H5929}.

He that troubleth{H5916}{(H8802)} his own house{H1004} shall inherit{H5157}{(H8799)} the wind{H7307}: and the fool{H191} shall be servant{H5650} to the wise{H2450} of heart{H3820}.

The fruit{H6529} of the righteous{H6662} is a tree{H6086} of life{H2416}; and he that winneth{H3947}{(H8802)} souls{H5315} is wise{H2450}.

Behold, the righteous{H6662} shall be recompensed{H7999}{(H8792)} in the earth{H776}: much more the wicked{H7563} and the sinner{H2398}{(H8802)}.
