1 A false scale is an abomination to יהוה, But a perfect weight is His delight.
2 Pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.
3 The integrity of the straight ones guides them, But the slipperiness of the treacherous destroys them.
4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.
5 The righteousness of the perfect Makes his way straight, But by his own wrongness the wrong one falls.
