1. Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight [is] His delight.
2. Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly [is] wisdom.
3. The integrity of the upright leadeth them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroyeth them.
4. Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivereth from death.
5. The righteousness of the perfect maketh right his way, And by his wickedness doth the wicked fall.
