1 Balances of deceit are an abomination of Yahweh, but an accurate weight delights him.
2 Pride comes, then disgrace comes, but wisdom is with the humble.
3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.
4 Wealth does not profit on the day of wrath, but righteousness will deliver from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will keep his ways straight, but the wicked will fall by his wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright will save them, but by a scheme the treacherous will be taken captive.
7 With the death of a wicked person, hope will die, and the expectation of the godless perishes.
