Proverbs 11:1–4

The Lord detests dishonest scales,

but accurate weights find favor with him.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace,

but with humility comes wisdom.

The integrity of the upright guides them,

but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,

but righteousness delivers from death.

Dishonest scales are detestable to the Lord,

but an accurate weight is his delight.

When arrogance comes, disgrace follows,

but with humility comes wisdom.

The integrity of the upright guides them,

but the perversity of the treacherous destroys them.

Wealth is not profitable on a day of wrath,

but righteousness rescues from death.

The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales,

but he delights in accurate weights.

Pride leads to disgrace,

but with humility comes wisdom.

Honesty guides good people;

dishonesty destroys treacherous people.

Riches won’t help on the day of judgment,

but right living can save you from death.

Balances of deceit are an abomination of Yahweh,

but an accurate weight delights him.

Pride comes, then disgrace comes,

but wisdom is with the humble.

The integrity of the upright guides them,

but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

Wealth does not profit on the day of wrath,

but righteousness will deliver from death.

A false balance is abomination to the Lord:

But a just weight is his delight.

When pride cometh, then cometh shame:

But with the lowly is wisdom.

The integrity of the upright shall guide them:

But the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

Riches profit not in the day of wrath:

But righteousness delivereth from death.
