[1] A falseH4820 balanceH3976 is abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but a justH8003 weightH68 is his delightH7522.
[2] When prideH2087 comethH935[H8804], then comethH935[H8799] shameH7036: but with the lowlyH6800[H8803] is wisdomH2451.
[3] The integrityH8538 of the uprightH3477 shall guideH5148[H8686] them: but the perversenessH5558 of transgressorsH898[H8802] shall destroyH7703[H8799][H8675][H7703] themH8804.
[4] RichesH1952 profitH3276[H8686] not in the dayH3117 of wrathH5678: but righteousnessH6666 deliverethH5337[H8686] from deathH4194.
[5] The righteousnessH6666 of the perfectH8549 shall directH3474[H8762] his wayH1870: but the wickedH7563 shall fallH5307[H8799] by his own wickednessH7564.
[6] The righteousnessH6666 of the uprightH3477 shall deliverH5337[H8686] them: but transgressorsH898[H8802] shall be takenH3920[H8735] in their own naughtinessH1942.
[7] When a wickedH7563 manH120 diethH4194, his expectationH8615 shall perishH6[H8799]: and the hopeH8431 of unjustH205 men perishethH6.[H8804]
[8] The righteousH6662 is delivered outH2502[H8738] of troubleH6869, and the wickedH7563 comethH935 in his steadH8799.
[9] An hypocriteH2611 with his mouthH6310 destroyethH7843[H8686] his neighbourH7453: but through knowledgeH1847 shall the justH6662 be deliveredH2502.[H8735]
[10] When it goeth wellH2898 with the righteousH6662, the cityH7151 rejoicethH5970[H8799]: and when the wickedH7563 perishH6[H8800], there is shoutingH7440.
[11] By the blessingH1293 of the uprightH3477 the cityH7176 is exaltedH7311[H8799]: but it is overthrownH2040[H8735] by the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563.
[12] He that is voidH2638 of wisdomH3820 despisethH936[H8802] his neighbourH7453: but a manH376 of understandingH8394 holdeth his peaceH2790.[H8686]
[13] A talebearerH1980[H8802][H7400] revealethH1540[H8764] secretsH5475: but he that is of a faithfulH539[H8738] spiritH7307 concealethH3680[H8764] the matterH1697.
[14] Where no counselH8458 is, the peopleH5971 fallH5307[H8799]: but in the multitudeH7230 of counsellorsH3289[H8802] there is safetyH8668.
[15] He that is suretyH6148[H8804] for a strangerH2114[H8801] shall smartH7321[H8735][H7451] for it: and he that hatethH8130[H8802] suretishipH8628[H8802] is sureH982.[H8802]
[16] A graciousH2580 womanH802 retainethH8551[H8799] honourH3519: and strongH6184 men retainH8551[H8799] richesH6239.
[17] The mercifulH2617 manH376 doeth goodH1580[H8802] to his own soulH5315: but he that is cruelH394 troublethH5916[H8802] his own fleshH7607.
[18] The wickedH7563 workethH6213[H8802] a deceitfulH8267 workH6468: but to him that sowethH2232[H8802] righteousnessH6666 shall be a sureH571 rewardH7938.
[19] As righteousnessH6666 tendeth to lifeH2416: so he that pursuethH7291[H8764] evilH7451 pursueth it to his own deathH4194.
[20] They that are of a frowardH6141 heartH3820 are abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but such as are uprightH8549 in their wayH1870 are his delightH7522.
[21] Though handH3027 join in handH3027, the wickedH7451 shall not be unpunishedH5352[H8735]: but the seedH2233 of the righteousH6662 shall be deliveredH4422.[H8738]
[22] As a jewelH5141 of goldH2091 in a swine'sH2386 snoutH639, so is a fairH3303 womanH802 which is withoutH5493[H8802] discretionH2940.
[23] The desireH8378 of the righteousH6662 is only goodH2896: but the expectationH8615 of the wickedH7563 is wrathH5678.
[24] There isH3426 that scatterethH6340[H8764], and yet increasethH3254[H8737]; and there is that withholdethH2820[H8802] more than is meetH3476, but it tendeth to povertyH4270.
[25] The liberalH1293 soulH5315 shall be made fatH1878[H8792]: and he that waterethH7301[H8688] shall be wateredH3384 also himselfH8686.
[26] He that withholdethH4513[H8802] cornH1250, the peopleH3816 shall curseH5344[H8799] him: but blessingH1293 shall be upon the headH7218 of him that sellethH7666 itH8688.
[27] He that diligently seekethH7836[H8802] goodH2896 procurethH1245[H8762] favourH7522: but he that seekethH1875[H8802] mischiefH7451, it shall comeH935 unto himH8799.
[28] He that trustethH982[H8802] in his richesH6239 shall fallH5307[H8799]: but the righteousH6662 shall flourishH6524[H8799] as a branchH5929.
[29] He that troublethH5916[H8802] his own houseH1004 shall inheritH5157[H8799] the windH7307: and the foolH191 shall be servantH5650 to the wiseH2450 of heartH3820.
[30] The fruitH6529 of the righteousH6662 is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416; and he that winnethH3947[H8802] soulsH5315 is wiseH2450.
[31] Behold, the righteousH6662 shall be recompensedH7999[H8792] in the earthH776: much more the wickedH7563 and the sinnerH2398.[H8802]
