1 Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to YHWH, || And a perfect weight [is] His delight. 2 Pride has come, and shame comes, || And wisdom [is] with the lowly. 3 The integrity of the upright leads them, || And the perverseness of the treacherous destroys them. 4 Wealth does not profit in a day of wrath, || And righteousness delivers from death. 5 The righteousness of the perfect makes his way right, || And by his wickedness the wicked fall. 6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, || And in mischief the treacherous are captured.
