Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
1 A false H4820 balance H3976 is an abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068,
But a just H8003 weight H68 is His delight H7522.
2 When pride H2087 comes H935, then comes H935 dishonor H7036;
But with the humble H6800 there is wisdom H2451.
3 The integrity H8538 of the upright H3477 will guide H5148 them,
But the perversity H5558 of the treacherous H898 will destroy H7703 them.
4 Riches H1952 do not benefit H3276 on the day H3117 of wrath H5678,
But righteousness H6666 rescues H5337 from death H4194.
5 The righteousness H6666 of the blameless H8549 will smooth H3474 his way H1870,
But the wicked H7563 will fall H5307 by his own wickedness H7564.
6 The righteousness H6666 of the upright H3477 will rescue H5337 them,
But the treacherous H898 will be caught H3920 by their own greed H1942.
7 When a wicked H7563 person H120 dies H4194, his expectation H8615 will perish H6,
And the hope H8431 of strong H202 people H202 perishes H6.
8 The righteous H6662 is rescued H2502 from trouble H6869,
But the wicked H7563 [fn]takes H935 his place H8478.
9 With his mouth H6310 the godless H2611 person H2611 destroys H7843 his neighbor H7453,
But through knowledge H1847 the righteous H6662 will be rescued H2502.
10 When things H2898 go well H2898 for the righteous H6662, the city H7151 rejoices H5970,
And when the wicked H7563 perish H6, there is joyful H7440 shouting H7440.
11 By the blessing H1293 of the upright H3477 a city H7176 is exalted H7311,
But by the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563, it is torn H2040 down H2040.
12 One who despises H936 his neighbor H7453 lacks H2638 [fn]sense H3820,
But a person H376 of understanding H8394 keeps H2790 silent H2790.
13 One who goes H1980 about H1980 as a slanderer H7400 reveals H1540 secrets H5475,
But one who is [fn]trustworthy H539 H7307 conceals H3680 a matter H1697.
14 Where there H369 is H369 no H369 guidance H8458 the people H5971 fall H5307,
But in an abundance H7230 of counselors H3289 there is [fn]victory H8668.
15 One who is H6148 a H6148 guarantor H6148 for a stranger H2114 will certainly H7451 suffer H7489 for it,
But one who hates H8130 [fn]being a guarantor H8628 is secure H982.
16 A gracious H2580 woman H802 attains H8551 honor H3519,
And ruthless H6184 men H6184 attain H8551 riches H6239.
17 A merciful H2617 person H376 does H1580 [fn]himself H5315 good,
But the cruel H394 person H394 [fn]does H5916 himself H7607 harm H5916.
18 A wicked H7563 person H7563 earns H6213 deceptive H8267 wages H7938,
But one who sows H2232 righteousness H6666 gets a true H571 reward H7938.
19 One who is steadfast H3651 in righteousness H6666 attains life H2416,
But one who pursues H7291 evil H7451 attains his own death H4194.
20 The perverse H6141 in heart H3820 are an abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068,
But the blameless H8549 in their [fn]walk H1870 are His delight H7522.
21 [fn]Be assured H3027, the evil H7451 person H7451 will not go H5352 unpunished H5352,
But the [fn]descendants H2233 of the righteous H6662 will be rescued H4422.
22 As a ring H5141 of gold H2091 in a pig’s H2386 snout H639
So is a beautiful H3303 woman H802 who lacks H5493 discretion H2940.
23 The desire H8378 of the righteous H6662 is only H389 good H2896,
But the expectation H8615 of the wicked H7563 is wrath H5678.
24 There H3426 is H3426 one who scatters H6340, and yet increases H3254 all H5750 the H5750 more H5750,
And there is one who withholds H2820 what H3476 is H3476 justly H3476 due H3476, and yet it results only H389 in poverty H4270.
25 A [fn]generous H1293 person H5315 will be H1878 [fn]prosperous H1878,
And one who gives H7301 others plenty H7301 of H7301 water H7301 will himself H1931 be given H3372 plenty H3372.
26 One who withholds H4513 grain H1250, the people H3816 will curse H6895 him,
But blessing H1293 will be on the head H7218 of him who sells H7666 it.
27 One who diligently H7836 seeks H7836 good H2896 seeks H1245 favor H7522,
But one who seeks H1875 evil H7451, evil will come H935 to him.
28 One who trusts H982 in his riches H6239 will fall H5307,
But the righteous H6662 will flourish H6524 like the green leaf H5929.
29 One who troubles H5916 his own house H1004 will inherit H5157 wind H7307,
And the foolish H191 will be servant H5650 to the wise-hearted H2450.
30 The fruit H6529 of the righteous H6662 is a tree H6086 of life H2416,
And one who is wise H2450 [fn]gains H3947 souls H5315.
31 If H2005 the righteous H6662 will be repaid H7999 on the earth H776,
How H637 much H637 H3588 more H637 the wicked H7563 and the sinner H2398!
