1 ^aDishonest¹ scales are an abomination to the Lord,
But a¹ just weight is His delight. ‡

2 When pride comes, then comes ^ashame;
But with the humble is wisdom. ‡

4 ^aRiches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But ^brighteousness delivers from death. ‡

5 The righteousness of the blameless will¹ direct his way aright,
But the wicked will fall by his own ^awickedness. ‡
