1 The Lord detests dishonest scales,but delights in an accurate weight.
2 When pride comes, so does shame,but wisdom brings humility.
3 Integrity guides the virtuous,but dishonesty ruins the treacherous.
4 Riches don’t help in the day of wrath,but righteousness rescues from death.
5 The righteousness of the innocent makes their path straight,but the wicked fall in their wickedness.
6 Those who do right are saved by their righteousness,but the untrustworthy are caught by their own desires.
7 When the wicked die, their hope perishes.Yes, any hope based on money perishes.
