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.
