1 A deceitful balance is an abomination before the Lord: and a just weight is his will. A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight. The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.
2 Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
3 The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
4 Riches shall not profit in the day of revenge: but justice shall deliver from death. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
5 The justice of the upright shall make his way prosperous: and the wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight, but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.
6 The justice of the righteous shall deliver them: and the unjust shall be caught in their own snares. The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust. The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.
