| 1 | A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah; 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 guideth them; but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroyeth them. |
| 4 | Wealth profiteth not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death. |
| 5 | The righteousness of the perfect maketh plain his way; but the wicked falleth by his own wickedness. |
| 6 | The righteousness of the upright delivereth them; but the treacherous are taken in their own craving. |
| 7 | When a wicked man dieth, [his] expectation shall perish; and the hope of evil [men] perisheth. |
| 8 | The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. |
| 9 | With his mouth a hypocrite destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge are the righteous 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 despiseth his neighbour is void of heart; but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. |
| 13 | He that goeth about talebearing revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. |
| 14 | Where no advice is, the people fall; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. |
| 15 | It goeth ill with him that is surety for another; but he that hateth suretyship is secure. |
| 16 | A gracious woman retaineth honour; and the violent retain riches. |
| 17 | The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but the cruel troubleth his own flesh. |
| 18 | The wicked worketh a deceitful work; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward. |
| 19 | As righteousness [tendeth] to life, so he that pursueth evil [doeth it] to his own death. |
| 20 | The perverse in heart are abomination to Jehovah; but they that are perfect in [their] way are his delight. |
| 21 | Hand for hand! an evil [man] shall not be held innocent; but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. |
| 22 | A fair woman who is without discretion, is [as] a gold ring in a swine's snout. |
| 23 | The desire of the righteous is only good; the expectation of the wicked is wrath. |
| 24 | There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is right, but [it tendeth] only to want. |
| 25 | The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. |
| 26 | He that withholdeth corn, the people curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. |
| 27 | He that is earnest after good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for mischief, it shall come upon him. |
| 28 | He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a leaf. |
| 29 | He that troubleth his own house shall inherit wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. |
| 30 | The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and the wise winneth souls. |
| 31 | Behold, the righteous shall be requited on the earth: how much more the wicked and the sinner. |
