| 1 | A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, But accurate weights are his delight. |
| 2 | When pride comes, then comes shame, But with humility comes wisdom. |
| 3 | The integrity of the upright shall guide them, But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them. |
| 4 | Riches don't profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death. |
| 5 | The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. |
| 6 | The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, But the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires. |
| 7 | When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, And expectation of power comes to nothing. |
| 8 | The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked takes his place. |
| 9 | With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, But the righteous will be delivered through knowledge. |
| 10 | When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. 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 | One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, But a man of understanding holds his peace. |
| 13 | One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, But one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret. |
| 14 | Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, But in the multitude of counselors there is victory. |
| 15 | He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, But he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure. |
| 16 | A gracious woman obtains honor, But violent men obtain riches. |
| 17 | The merciful man does good to his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh. |
| 18 | The wicked earns deceitful wages, But he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. |
| 19 | He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death. |
| 20 | Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, But those whose ways are blameless are his delight. |
| 21 | Most assuredly, the evil man will not be unpunished, But the seed of the righteous will be delivered. |
| 22 | Like a gold ring in a pig's snout, Is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion. |
| 23 | The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath. |
| 24 | There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty. |
| 25 | The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself. |
| 26 | He who withholds grain, the people will curse him, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. |
| 27 | He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, But he who searches after evil, it shall come to him. |
| 28 | He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. |
| 29 | He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. |
| 30 | The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls. |
| 31 | Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the earth; How much more the wicked and the sinner! |
