1 False scales are an abomination to the Lord,but an honest weight, his delight.
2 When pride comes, disgrace comes;but with the humble is wisdom.
3 The honesty of the upright guides them;the faithless are ruined by their duplicity.
4 Wealth is useless on a day of wrath, but justice saves from death.
5 The justice of the honest makes their way straight,but by their wickedness the wicked fall.
6 The justice of the upright saves them,but the faithless are caught in their own intrigue.
7 When a person dies, hope is destroyed;expectation pinned on wealth is destroyed.
