1 A false balance is abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.
2 When pride comes, then comes shame, but with the humble is wisdom.
3 The perfection of the upright shall guide them in the way, but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
4 Riches shall not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness shall deliver from death.
5 The righteousness of the perfect shall straighten his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
