1 Dishonest scales are an 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 integrity of the upright will guide them,But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,But righteousness delivers from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright,But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish,And the hope of the unjust perishes.
