* A false balance is an abomination to the LORD ; but a perfect 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 the faithless shall destroy them . * Riches profit not in the day of wrath ; but righteousness delivereth from death . * The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way ; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness . * The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them ; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device . * When a wicked man dieth , his expectation shall perish , and the hope of strength perisheth . * The righteous is delivered out of trouble , and the wicked cometh in his stead . * With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour ; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered . * When it goeth well with the righteous , the city rejoiceth ; and when the wicked perish , there is joy . * By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted ; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked . * He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding ; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace . * He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets ; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter . * Where no wise direction is , a people falleth ; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety . * He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it ; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure . * A gracious woman obtaineth honour ; and strong men obtain riches . * The merciful man doeth good to his own soul ; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh . * The wicked earneth deceitful wages ; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward . * Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life ; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death . * They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD ; but such as are upright in their way are His delight . * My hand upon it ! the evil man shall not be unpunished ; but the seed of the righteous shall escape . * As a ring of gold in a swine 's snout , so is a fair woman that turneth aside from 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 only to want . * The beneficent soul shall be made rich , and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied 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 seeketh favour ; but he that searcheth for evil , it shall come unto him . * He that trusteth in his riches shall fall ; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage . * He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind ; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart . * The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life ; and he that is wise winneth souls . * Behold , the righteous shall be requited in the earth ; how much more the wicked and the sinner !
