1 The Lord abhors dishonest scales,but an accurate weight is his delight.
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,but with humility comes wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright guides them,but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroys them.
4 Wealth does not profit in the day of wrath,but righteousness delivers from mortal danger.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will make straight their way,but the wicked person will fall by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,but the faithless will be captured by their own desires.
7 When a wicked person dies, his expectation perishes,and the hope of his strength perishes.
