1False balances are an abomination before the Lord: But a just weight is acceptable unto him.
2Wherever pride enters, there will be also disgrace: But the mouth of the lowly meditates wisdom.
3When a just man dies he leaves regret: But the destruction of the ungodly is speedy, and causes joy.
5Righteousness traces out blameless paths: But ungodliness encounters unjust dealing.
6The righteousness of upright men delivers them: But transgressors are caught in their own destruction.
7At the death of a just man his hope does not perish: But the boast of the ungodly perishes.
8A righteous man escapes from a snare, And the ungodly man is delivered up in his place.
9In the mouth of ungodly men is a snare to citizens: But the understanding of righteous men is prosperous.
10In the prosperity of righteous men a city prospers:
