A afalse balance
is an abomination
to the LORD
, But a bjust
weight
is His delight
.
When apride comes
, then comes
dishonor
, But with the humble
is wisdom
.
The aintegrity of the upright
will guide
them, But the bcrookedness
of the treacherous
will destroy
them.
aRiches do not profit
in the day
of wrath
, But brighteousness
delivers
from death
.
The arighteousness of the blameless
will smooth
his way
, But bthe wicked
will fall
by his own wickedness
.
The righteousness of the upright
will deliver
them, But the treacherous
will abe caught
by their own greed
.
When a wicked man
dies
, his aexpectation
will perish
, And the bhope
of strong
men
perishes
.
The righteous is delivered
from trouble
, But the wicked
1takes
his place
.
With his amouth the godless
man
destroys
his neighbor
, But through knowledge
the brighteous
will be delivered
.
When it agoes well with the righteous
, the city
rejoices
, And when the wicked
perish
, there is joyful
shouting
.
By the blessing of the upright
a city
is exalted
, But by the mouth
of the wicked
it is torn
down
.
He who despises his neighbor
lacks
1sense
, But a man
of understanding
keeps
silent
.
He awho goes about as a talebearer
reveals
secrets
, But he who is 1trustworthy
bconceals
a matter
.
Where there is no
aguidance
the people
fall
, But in abundance
of counselors
there is 1victory
.
He who is aguarantor for a stranger
will surely
suffer
for it, But he who hates
1being a guarantor
is secure
.
A agracious woman
attains
honor
, And ruthless
men
attain
riches
.
The amerciful man
does
1himself
good
, But the cruel
man
2does
himself
harm
.
The wicked earns
deceptive
wages
, But he who asows
righteousness
gets a true
reward
.
He who is steadfast
in arighteousness
will attain to life
, And bhe who pursues
evil
will bring about his own death
.
The perverse in heart
are an abomination
to the LORD
, But the ablameless
in their 1walk
are His bdelight
.
1Assuredly, the evil
man
will not go
unpunished
, But the 2descendants
of the righteous
will be delivered
.
As a aring of gold
in a swine's
snout
So is a beautiful
woman
who lacks
1discretion
.
The desire of the righteous
is only
good
, But the aexpectation
of the wicked
is wrath
.
There is one who scatters
, and yet increases
all
the more
, And there is one who withholds
what
is justly
due
, and yet it results only
in want
.
The 1 agenerous man
will be 2prosperous
, And he who bwaters
will himself
be watered
.
He who withholds grain
, the apeople
will curse
him, But bblessing
will be on the head
of him who csells
it.
He who diligently seeks
good
seeks
favor
, But ahe who seeks
evil
, evil will come
to him.
He who atrusts in his riches
will fall
, But bthe righteous
will flourish
like the green leaf
.
He who atroubles his own house
will binherit
wind
, And cthe foolish
will be servant
to the wisehearted
.
The fruit of the righteous
is aa tree
of life
, And bhe who is wise
1wins
souls
.
If athe righteous
will be rewarded
in the earth
, How
much
more
the wicked
and the sinner
!
