*
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 (

but righteousness delivereth from death .

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way :
but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness rish #

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 .

the people fall :

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 .

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 .
