1
A
false
balance
[is]
abomination
to
the
LORD:
but
a
just
weight
[is]
his
delight.
2
[When]
pride
cometh,
then
cometh
shame:
but
with
the
lowly
[is]
wisdom.
3
The
integrity
of
the
upright
shall
guide
them:
but
the
perverseness
of
transgressors
shall
destroy
them.
4
Riches
profit
not
in
the
day
of
wrath:
but
righteousness
delivereth
from
death.
5
The
righteousness
of
the
perfect
shall
direct
his
way:
but
the
wicked
shall
fall
by
his
own
wickedness.
6
The
righteousness
of
the
upright
shall
deliver
them:
but
transgressors
shall
be
taken
in
[their
own]
naughtiness.
7
When
a
wicked
man
dieth,
[his]
expectation
shall
perish:
and
the
hope
of
unjust
[men]
perisheth.
8
The
righteous
is
delivered
out
of
trouble,
and
the
wicked
cometh
in
his
stead.
9
An
hypocrite
with
[his]
mouth
destroyeth
his
neighbour:
but
through
knowledge
shall
the
just
be
delivered.
10
When
it
goeth
well
with
the
righteous,
the
city
rejoiceth:
and
when
the
wicked
perish,
[there
is]
shouting.
11
By
the
blessing
of
the
upright
the
city
is
exalted:
but
it
is
overthrown
by
the
mouth
of
the
wicked.
12
He
that
is
void
of
wisdom
despiseth
his
neighbour:
but
a
man
of
understanding
holdeth
his
peace.
13
A
talebearer
revealeth
secrets:
but
he
that
is
of
a
faithful
spirit
concealeth
the
matter.
14
Where
no
counsel
[is],
the
people
fall:
but
in
the
multitude
of
counsellors
[there
is]
safety.
15
He
that
is
surety
for
a
stranger
shall
smart
[for
it]:
and
he
that
hateth
suretiship
is
sure.
16
A
gracious
woman
retaineth
honour:
and
strong
[men]
retain
riches.
17
The
merciful
man
doeth
good
to
his
own
soul:
but
[he
that
is]
cruel
troubleth
his
own
flesh.
18
The
wicked
worketh
a
deceitful
work:
but
to
him
that
soweth
righteousness
[shall
be]
a
sure
reward.
19
As
righteousness
[tendeth]
to
life:
so
he
that
pursueth
evil
[pursueth
it]
to
his
own
death.
20
They
that
are
of
a
froward
heart
[are]
abomination
to
the
LORD:
but
[such
as
are]
upright
in
[their]
way
[are]
his
delight.
21
[Though]
hand
[join]
in
hand,
the
wicked
shall
not
be
unpunished:
but
the
seed
of
the
righteous
shall
be
delivered.
22
[As]
a
jewel
of
gold
in
a
swine’s
snout,
[so
is]
a
fair
woman
which
is
without
discretion.
23
The
desire
of
the
righteous
[is]
only
good:
[but]
the
expectation
of
the
wicked
[is]
wrath.
24
There
is
that
scattereth,
and
yet
increaseth;
and
[there
is]
that
withholdeth
more
than
is
meet,
but
[it
tendeth]
to
poverty.
25
The
liberal
soul
shall
be
made
fat:
and
he
that
watereth
shall
be
watered
also
himself.
26
He
that
withholdeth
corn,
the
people
shall
curse
him:
but
blessing
[shall
be]
upon
the
head
of
him
that
selleth
[it].
27
He
that
diligently
seeketh
good
procureth
favour:
but
he
that
seeketh
mischief,
it
shall
come
unto
him.
28
He
that
trusteth
in
his
riches
shall
fall:
but
the
righteous
shall
flourish
as
a
branch.
29
He
that
troubleth
his
own
house
shall
inherit
the
wind:
and
the
fool
[shall
be]
servant
to
the
wise
of
heart.
30
The
fruit
of
the
righteous
[is]
a
tree
of
life;
and
he
that
winneth
souls
[is]
wise.
31
Behold,
the
righteous
shall
be
recompensed
in
the
earth:
much
more
the
wicked
and
the
sinner.
