[1]  A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.

[1]  ---

[2]  When pride comes, then comes shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

[2]  ---

[3]  The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

[3]  ---

[4]  Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivers from death.

[4]  ---

[5]  The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

[5]  ---

[6]  The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

[6]  ---

[7]  When a wicked man dies, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perishes.

[7]  ---

[8]  The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked comes in his stead.

[8]  ---

[9]  An hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

[9]  ---

[10]  When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

[10]  ---

[11]  By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

[11]  ---

[12]  He that is void of wisdom despises his neighbor: but a man of understanding holds his peace.

[12]  ---

[13]  A talebearer reveals secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.

[13]  ---

[14]  Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

[14]  ---

[15]  He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hates indebtedness is sure.

[15]  ---

[16]  A gracious woman retains honor: and strong men retain riches.

[16]  ---

[17]  The merciful man does good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubles his own flesh.

[17]  ---

[18]  The wicked works a deceitful work: but to him that sows righteousness shall be a sure reward.

[18]  ---

[19]  As righteousness tends to life: so he that pursues evil pursues it to his own death.

[19]  ---

[20]  They that are of a fraudulent heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

[20]  ---

[21]  Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

[21]  ---

[22]  As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

[22]  ---

[23]  The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

[23]  ---

[24]  There is that scatters, and yet increases; and there is that withholds more than is meet, but it tends to poverty.

[24]  ---

[25]  The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that waters shall be watered also himself.

[25]  ---

[26]  He that withholds corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be on the head of him that sells it.

[26]  ---

[27]  He that diligently seeks good procures favor: but he that seeks mischief, it shall come to him.

[27]  ---

[28]  He that trusts in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

[28]  ---

[29]  He that troubles his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

[29]  ---

[30]  The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise.

[30]  ---

[31]  Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
