1  A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just
weight is his delight. 

 2  When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly
is wisdom. 

 3  The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the
perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. 

 4  Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness
delivereth from death. 

 5  The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way:
but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 
 6  The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but
transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. 
 7  When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish:
and the hope of unjust men perisheth. 

 8  The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the
wicked cometh in his stead. 

 9  An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. 

 10  When it goeth well with the righteous, the city
rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. 
 11  By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but
it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. 

 12  He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but
a man of understanding holdeth his peace.  13  A talebearer
revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit
concealeth the matter. 

 14  Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the
multitude of counsellors there is safety. 

 15  He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it:
and he that hateth suretiship is sure. 

 16  A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men
retain riches. 

 17  The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he
that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. 

 18  The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that
soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. 
 19  As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth
evil pursueth it to his own death. 

 20  They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the
LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. 

 21  Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be
unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. 

 22  As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair
woman which is without discretion. 

 23  The desire of the righteous is only good: but the
expectation of the wicked is wrath. 

 24  There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there
is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to
poverty. 

 25  The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that
watereth shall be watered also himself. 

 26  He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him:
but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. 

 27  He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but
he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. 

 28  He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the
righteous shall flourish as a branch. 

 29  He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind:
and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. 

 30  The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he
that winneth souls is wise. 

 31  Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the
earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
