1 A false H4820 NFS balance H3976 is abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068 EDS : but a just H8003 weight H68 W-GFS is his delight H7522 .
2 When pride H2087 cometh H935 , then cometh H935 W-VQY3MS shame H7036 NMS : but with H854 the lowly H6800 is wisdom H2451 NFS .
3 The integrity H8538 of the upright H3477 AMP shall guide H5148 them : but the perverseness H5558 of transgressors H898 shall destroy H7703 them .
4 Riches H1952 NMS profit H3276 VHY3MS not H3808 NADV in the day H3117 B-NMS of wrath H5678 : but righteousness H6666 delivereth H5337 from death H4194 .
5 The righteousness H6666 of the perfect H8549 AMS shall direct H3474 his way H1870 CMS-3MS : but the wicked H7563 shall fall H5307 VQY3MS by his own wickedness H7564 .
6 The righteousness H6666 of the upright H3477 AMP shall deliver H5337 them : but transgressors H898 shall be taken H3920 in their own naughtiness H1942 .
7 When a wicked H7563 AMS man H120 NMS dieth H4194 , his expectation H8615 NFS shall perish H6 : and the hope H8431 of unjust H205 men perisheth H6 .
8 The righteous H6662 AMS is delivered H2502 out of trouble H6869 M-NFS , and the wicked H7563 AMS cometh H935 W-VQY3MS in his stead H8478 .
9 A hypocrite H2611 NMS with his mouth H6310 destroyeth H7843 his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS : but through knowledge H1847 shall the just H6662 AMP be delivered H2502 .
10 When it goeth well H2898 with the righteous H6662 AMP , the city H7151 NFS rejoiceth H5970 : and when the wicked H7563 AMP perish H6 , there is shouting H7440 .
11 By the blessing H1293 of the upright H3477 AMP the city H7176 NFS is exalted H7311 : but it is overthrown H2040 by the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563 AMP .
12 He that is void H2638 JMS of wisdom H3820 NMS despiseth H936 his neighbor H7453 L-CMS-3MS : but a man H376 W-NMS of understanding H8394 holdeth his peace H2790 .
13 A talebearer H7400 revealeth H1540 VPPMS secrets H5475 : but he that is of a faithful H539 spirit H7307 NFS concealeth H3680 the matter H1697 NMS .
14 Where no H369 counsel H8458 NFP is , the people H5971 NMS fall H5307 : but in the multitude H7230 of counselors H3289 there is safety H8668 .
15 He that is surety H6148 VQQ3MS for a stranger H2114 VQPMS shall smart H7451 AMS for it : and he that hateth H8130 suretiship H8628 is sure H982 .
16 A gracious H2580 NMS woman H802 CFS retaineth H8551 honor H3519 : and strong H6184 men retain H8551 riches H6239 NMS .
17 The merciful H2617 NMS man H376 NMS doeth good H1580 to his own soul H5315 NMS-3MS : but he that is cruel H394 troubleth H5916 his own flesh H7607 .
18 The wicked H7563 AMS worketh H6213 VQPMS a deceitful H8267 NMS work H6468 : but to him that soweth H2232 righteousness H6666 NFS shall be a sure H571 reward H7938 .
19 As H3651 ADV righteousness H6666 NFS tendeth to life H2416 : so he that pursueth H7291 evil H7451 AFS pursueth it to his own death H4194 .
20 They that are of a froward H6141 heart H3820 NMS are abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068 EDS : but such as are upright H8549 in their way H1870 NMS are his delight H7522 .
21 Though hand H3027 NFS join in hand H3027 , the wicked H7451 shall not H3808 NADV be unpunished H5352 : but the seed H2233 of the righteous H6662 AMP shall be delivered H4422 .
22 As a jewel H5141 CMS of gold H2091 NMS in a swine H2386 \'s snout H639 , so is a fair H3303 AFS woman H802 NFS which is without H5493 discretion H2940 .
23 The desire H8378 of the righteous H6662 AMP is only H389 ADV good H2896 AMS : but the expectation H8615 CFS of the wicked H7563 AMP is wrath H5678 .
24 There is H3426 PART that scattereth H6340 , and yet H5750 ADV increaseth H3254 ; and there is that withholdeth H2820 more than is meet H3476 , but it tendeth to poverty H4270 .
25 The liberal H1293 soul H5315 shall be made fat H1878 : and he that watereth H7301 shall be watered H3384 also H1571 CONJ himself H1931 PPRO-3MS .
26 He that withholdeth H4513 corn H1250 , the people H3816 shall curse H6895 him : but blessing H1293 shall be upon the head H7218 of him that selleth H7666 it .
27 He that diligently seeketh H7836 good H2896 AMS procureth H1245 favor H7522 : but he that seeketh H1875 mischief H7451 AFS , it shall come H935 unto him .
28 He H1931 PPRO-3MS that trusteth H982 in his riches H6239 shall fall H5307 VQY3MS : but the righteous H6662 AMP shall flourish H6524 as a branch H5929 .
29 He that troubleth H5916 his own house H1004 NMS-3MS shall inherit H5157 the wind H7307 NFS : and the fool H191 AMS shall be servant H5650 W-NMS to the wise H2450 of heart H3820 NMS .
30 The fruit H6529 of the righteous H6662 AMS is a tree H6086 NMS of life H2416 NMP ; and he that winneth H3947 souls H5315 is wise H2450 AMS .
31 Behold H2005 IJEC , the righteous H6662 AMS shall be recompensed H7999 in the earth H776 B-NFS : much more H637 CONJ the wicked H7563 AMS and the sinner H2398 .
