A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah;

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame;

3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them;

4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath;

5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way;

6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them;

7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish;

8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble;

9 With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor;

10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth;

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted;

12 He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom;

13 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets;

14 Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth;

15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it;

16 A gracious woman obtaineth honor;

17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul;

18 The wicked earneth deceitful wages;

19 He that is steadfast in righteousness shall attain unto life;

20 They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah;

21 Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished;

22 As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,

23 The desire of the righteous is only good;

24 There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more;

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat;

26 He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him;

27 He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor;

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall;

29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind;

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;

31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth;
