1 A false ballaunce is an abomination vnto the Lorde: but a true wayght pleaseth him. 2 Where pryde is, there is shame also and confusion: but wheras is lowlinesse, there is wisdome. 3 The innocent dealyng of the iust shall leade them: but the wickednesse of the offendours shalbe their owne destruction. 4 Riches helpe not in the day of vengeaunce: but ryghteousnesse deliuereth from death. 5 The ryghteousnesse of the innocent ordereth his way: but the vngodly shall fall in his owne wickednesse. 6 The righteousnesse of the iust shall delyuer them: but the wicked shalbe taken in their owne vngodlynesse. Proverbs 11:1-6, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
