Proverbs 11:1-6 ▼

1 False scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an honest weight, his delight.

2 When pride comes, disgrace comes; but with the humble is wisdom.

3 The honesty of the upright guides them; the faithless are ruined by their duplicity.

4 Wealth is useless on a day of wrath, but justice saves from death.

5 The justice of the honest makes their way straight, but by their wickedness the wicked fall.

6 The justice of the upright saves them, but the faithless are caught in their own intrigue.
