1 Balances of deceit are an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight is His delight. 2 Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly is wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright leadeth them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroyeth them. 4 Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivereth from death. 5 The righteousness of the perfect maketh right his way, And by his wickedness doth the wicked fall. 6 The righteousness of the upright delivereth them, And in mischief the treacherous are captured. Proverbs 11:1-6, Young's Literal Translation. Public domain.
