1	מֹאזְנֵ֣י מִ֭רְמָה תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶ֖בֶן שְׁלֵמָ֣ה רְצוֹנֽוֹ׃	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	בָּֽא־ זָ֭דוֹן וַיָּבֹ֣א קָל֑וֹן וְֽאֶת־ צְנוּעִ֥ים חָכְמָֽה׃	When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.	When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
3	תֻּמַּ֣ת יְשָׁרִ֣ים תַּנְחֵ֑ם וְסֶ֖לֶף בּוֹגְדִ֣ים [ושדם] (יְשָׁדֵּֽם׃)	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	לֹא־ יוֹעִ֣יל ה֭וֹן בְּי֣וֹם עֶבְרָ֑ה וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה תַּצִּ֥יל מִמָּֽוֶת׃	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	צִדְקַ֣ת תָּ֭מִים תְּיַשֵּׁ֣ר דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וּ֝בְרִשְׁעָת֗וֹ יִפֹּ֥ל רָשָֽׁע׃	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	צִדְקַ֣ת יְ֭שָׁרִים תַּצִּילֵ֑ם וּ֝בְהַוַּ֗ת בֹּגְדִ֥ים יִלָּכֵֽדוּ׃	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.
7	בְּמ֤וֹת אָדָ֣ם רָ֭שָׁע תֹּאבַ֣ד תִּקְוָ֑ה וְתוֹחֶ֖לֶת אוֹנִ֣ים אָבָֽדָה׃	When the wicked dies, his hope will perish, and the expectation of wealth perishes too.	Hopes placed in mortals die with them; all the promise of their power comes to nothing.
8	צַ֭דִּיק מִצָּרָ֣ה נֶחֱלָ֑ץ וַיָּבֹ֖א רָשָׁ֣ע תַּחְתָּֽיו׃	The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked walks into it instead.	The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.
9	בְּפֶ֗ה חָ֭נֵף יַשְׁחִ֣ת רֵעֵ֑הוּ וּ֝בְדַ֗עַת צַדִּיקִ֥ים יֵחָלֵֽצוּ׃	With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.	With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape.
10	בְּט֣וּב צַ֭דִּיקִים תַּעֲלֹ֣ץ קִרְיָ֑ה וּבַאֲבֹ֖ד רְשָׁעִ֣ים רִנָּֽה׃	When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.	When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
11	בְּבִרְכַּ֣ת יְ֭שָׁרִים תָּר֣וּם קָ֑רֶת וּבְפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים תֵּהָרֵֽס׃	By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.	Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.
