1 A deceitful scale is an abomination with the Lord, and a fair weighing is his will. 2 Wherever arrogance may be, there too is insult. But wherever humility is, there too is wisdom. 3 The simplicity of the just shall direct them, and the rebellion of the perverse will devastate them. 4 Wealth will not profit in the day of vengeance. But justice shall liberate from death. 5 The justice of the simple shall direct his way. And the impious will fall in his impiety. 6 The justice of the upright shall free them. And the iniquitous will be seized by their own treachery. Proverbs 11:1-6, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
