      | ¶ | A false balance [is] abomination to the LORD: but a just weight [is] his delight. | |
| [When] pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly [is] wisdom. | ||
| The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. | ||
| Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. | ||
| The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. | ||
| The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in [their own] naughtiness. | ||
| ¶ | When a wicked man dieth, [his] expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust [men] perisheth. | |
| The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. | ||
| An hypocrite with [his] mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. | ||
| When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, [there is] shouting. | ||
| By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. | ||
| He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. | ||
| A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. | ||
| Where no counsel [is], the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors [there is] safety. | ||
| He that is surety for a stranger shall smart [for it]: and he that hateth suretiship is sure. | ||
| ¶ | A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong [men] retain riches. | |
| The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but [he that is] cruel troubleth his own flesh. | ||
| The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness [shall be] a sure reward. | ||
| As righteousness [tendeth] to life: so he that pursueth evil [pursueth it] to his own death. | ||
| They that are of a froward heart [are] abomination to the LORD: but [such as are] upright in [their] way [are] his delight. | ||
| [Though] hand [join] in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. | ||
| [As] a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, [so is] a fair woman which is without discretion. | ||
| The desire of the righteous [is] only good: [but] the expectation of the wicked [is] wrath. | ||
| ¶ | There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty. | |
| The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. | ||
| He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing [shall be] upon the head of him that selleth [it]. | ||
| He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. | ||
| He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. | ||
| He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool [shall be] servant to the wise of heart. | ||
 | The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise. | ||
| Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner. |
