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.
