| 1 | Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight. | |
| 2 | When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom. | |
| 3 | The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them. | |
| 4 | Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death. | |
| 5 | The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness. | |
| 6 | The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust. | |
| 7 | When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of the unjust perishes. | |
| 8 | The righteous is delivered from trouble, And it comes to the wicked instead. | |
| 9 | The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. | |
| 10 | When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation. | |
| 11 | By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. | |
| 12 | He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, But a man of understanding holds his peace. | |
| 13 | A talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter. | |
| 14 | Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. | |
| 15 | He who is surety for a stranger will suffer, But one who hates being surety is secure. | |
| 16 | A gracious woman retains honor, But ruthless men retain riches. | |
| 17 | The merciful man does good for his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh. | |
| 18 | The wicked man does deceptive work, But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward. | |
| 19 | As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death. | |
| 20 | Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the LORD, But the blameless in their ways are His delight. | |
| 21 | Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered. | |
| 22 | As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion. | |
| 23 | The desire of the righteous is only good, But the expectation of the wicked is wrath. | |
| 24 | There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty. | |
| 25 | The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself. | |
| 26 | The people will curse him who withholds grain, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. | |
| 27 | He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, But trouble will come to him who seeks evil. | |
| 28 | He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage. | |
| 29 | He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. | |
| 30 | The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise. | |
| 31 | If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth, How much more the ungodly and the sinner. | |
