[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] A righteous person 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] Wicked people earn deceitful wages,
but one 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 certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished,
but the offspring§ 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] People curse someone who withholds grain,
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!
but accurate weights are his delight.
[2] When pride comes, then comes shame,

[26] He that withholdethH4513(QalActPtc) corn,H1250 the peopleH3816 shall curseH5344(QalImpf) him: but blessingH1293 [shall be] upon the headH7218 of him that sellethH7666(HiphPtc) [it]. [27] He that diligently seekethH7836(QalActPtc) goodH2896 procurethH1245(PielImpf) favour:H7522 but he that seekethH1875(QalActPtc) mischief,H7451 it shall comeH935(QalImpf) unto him. [28] He that trustethH982(QalActPtc) in his richesH6239 shall fall:H5307(QalImpf) but the righteousH6662 shall flourishH6524(QalImpf) as a branch.H5929 [29] He that troublethH5916(QalActPtc) his own houseH1004 shall inheritH5157(QalImpf) the wind:H7307 and the foolH191 [shall be] servantH5650 to the wiseH2450 of heart.H3820 [30] The fruitH6529 of the righteousH6662 [is] a treeH6086 of life;H2416 and he that winnethH3947(QalActPtc) soulsH5315 [is] wise.H2450 [31] Behold, the righteousH6662 shall be recompensedH7999(PualImpf) in the earth:H776 much more the wickedH7563 and the sinner.H2398(QalActPtc)
