1 Dishonest scales are disgusting to the LORD, but accurate weights are pleasing to him. 2 Arrogance comes, then comes shame, but wisdom remains with humble people. 3 Integrity guides decent people, but hypocrisy leads treacherous people to ruin. 4 Riches are of no help on the day of fury, but righteousness saves from death. 5 The righteousness of innocent people makes their road smooth, but wicked people fall by their own wickedness. 6 Decent people are saved by their righteousness, but treacherous people are trapped by their own greed.
