1
A falseH4820 balanceH3976 is abominationH8441 to the LORD:H3068 but a justH8003 weightH68 is his delight.H7522
2
When prideH2087 comes,H935 then comesH935 shame:H7036 but with the lowlyH6800 is wisdom.H2451
3
The integrityH8538 of the uprightH3477 shall guideH5148 them: but the perversenessH5558 of transgressorsH898 shall destroyH7703 them.
4
RichesH1952 profitH3276 not in the dayH3117 of wrath:H5678 but righteousnessH6666 deliversH5337 from death.H4194
5
The righteousnessH6666 of the perfectH8549 shall directH3474 his way:H1870 but the wickedH7563 shall fallH5307 by his own wickedness.H7564
6
The righteousnessH6666 of the uprightH3477 shall deliverH5337 them: but transgressorsH898 shall be takenH3920 in their own naughtiness.H1942
7
When a wickedH7563 manH120 dies,H4194 his expectationH8615 shall perish:H6 and the hopeH8431 of unjustH205 men perishes.H6
8
The righteousH6662 is deliveredH2502 out of trouble,H6869 and the wickedH7563 comesH935 in his stead.H8478
9
An hypocriteH2611 with his mouthH6310 destroysH7843 his neighbor:H7453 but through knowledgeH1847 shall the justH6662 be delivered.H2502
10
When it goes wellH2898 with the righteous,H6662 the cityH7151 rejoices:H5970 and when the wickedH7563 perish,H6 there is shouting.H7440
11
By the blessingH1293 of the uprightH3477 the cityH7176 is exalted:H7311 but it is overthrownH2040 by the mouthH6310 of the wicked.H7563
12
He that is voidH2638 of wisdomH3820 despisesH936 his neighbor:H7453 but a manH376 of understandingH8394 holdsH2790 his peace.H2790
13
A talebearerH1980 H7400 revealsH1540 secrets:H5475 but he that is of a faithfulH539 spiritH7307 concealsH3680 the matter.H1697
14
Where noH369 counselH8458 is, the peopleH5971 fall:H5307 but in the multitudeH7230 of counsellorsH3289 there is safety.H8668
15
He that is suretyH6148 for a strangerH2114 shall smartH7321 H7451 for it: and he that hatesH8130 indebtednessH8628 is sure.H982
16
A graciousH2580 womanH802 retainsH8551 honor:H3519 and strongH6184 men retainH8551 riches.H6239
17
The mercifulH2617 manH376 doesH1580 goodH1580 to his own soul:H5315 but he that is cruelH394 troublesH5916 his own flesh.H7607
18
The wickedH7563 worksH6213 a deceitfulH8267 work:H6468 but to him that sowsH2232 righteousnessH6666 shall be a sureH571 reward.H7938
19
As righteousnessH6666 tends to life:H2416 so he that pursuesH7291 evilH7451 pursues it to his own death.H4194
20
They that are of a fraudulentH6141 heartH3820 are abominationH8441 to the LORD:H3068 but such as are uprightH8549 in their wayH1870 are his delight.H7522
21
Though handH3027 join in hand,H3027 the wickedH7451 shall not be unpunished:H5352 but the seedH2233 of the righteousH6662 shall be delivered.H4422
22
As a jewelH5141 of goldH2091 in a swine'sH2386 snout,H639 so is a fairH3303 womanH802 which is withoutH5493 discretion.H2940
23
The desireH8378 of the righteousH6662 is onlyH389 good:H2896 but the expectationH8615 of the wickedH7563 is wrath.H5678
24
There is that scatters,H6340 and yetH5750 increases;H3254 and there is that withholdsH2820 more than is meet,H3476 but it tends to poverty.H4270
25
The liberalH1293 soulH5315 shall be made fat:H1878 and he that watersH7301 shall be wateredH3384 alsoH1571 himself.H1931
26
He that withholdsH4513 corn,H1250 the peopleH3816 shall curseH5344 him: but blessingH1293 shall be on the headH7218 of him that sellsH7666 it.
27
He that diligentlyH7836 seeksH7836 goodH2896 procuresH1245 favor:H7522 but he that seeksH1875 mischief,H7451 it shall comeH935 to him.
28
He that trustsH982 in his richesH6239 shall fall;H5307 but the righteousH6662 shall flourishH6524 as a branch.H5929
29
He that troublesH5916 his own houseH1004 shall inheritH5157 the wind:H7307 and the foolH191 shall be servantH5650 to the wiseH2450 of heart.H3820
30
The fruitH6529 of the righteousH6662 is a treeH6086 of life;H2416 and he that winsH3947 soulsH5315 is wise.H2450
31
Behold,H2005 the righteousH6662 shall be recompensedH7999 in the earth:H776 muchH637 more the wickedH7563 and the sinner.H2398
