## Text

[1] Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
but an accurate weight is His delight. [2] When pride comes, disgrace follows,
but with humility comes wisdom. [3] The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the perversity of the faithless destroys them. [4] Riches are worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness brings deliverance from death. [5] The righteousness of the blameless directs their path,
but the wicked fall by their own wickedness. [6] The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the faithless are trapped by their own desires. [7] When the wicked man dies, his hope perishes,
and the hope of his strength vanishes. [8] The righteous man is delivered from trouble;
in his place the wicked man goes in. [9] With his mouth the ungodly man destroys his neighbor,
but through knowledge the righteous are rescued. [10] When the righteous thrive, the city rejoices,
and when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy. [11] By the blessing of the upright a city is built up,
but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down. [12] Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks judgment,
but a man of understanding remains silent. [13] A gossip reveals a secret,
but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence. [14] For lack of guidance, a nation falls,
but with many counselors comes deliverance. [15] He who puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer,
but the one who hates indebtedness is secure. [16] A gracious woman attains honor,
but ruthless men gain only wealth. [17] A kind man benefits himself,
but a cruel man brings trouble on himself. [18] The wicked man earns an empty wage,
but he who sows righteousness reaps a true reward. [19] Genuine righteousness leads to life,
but the pursuit of evil brings death. [20] The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD,
but the blameless in their walk are His delight. [21] Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished,
but the offspring of the righteous will escape. [22] Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion. [23] The desire of the righteous leads only to good,
but the hope of the wicked brings wrath. [24] One gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds what is right, only to become poor. [25] A generous soul will prosper,
and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. [26] The people will curse the hoarder of grain,
but blessing will crown the one who sells it. [27] He who searches out good finds favor,
but evil will come to him who seeks it. [28] He who trusts in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will thrive like foliage. [29] He who brings trouble on his 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 receive their due on earth,
how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
