1 Balances of deceit are an abhorrence to Yah Veh; and a stone of shalom is his pleasure.
2 Arrogance comes; abasement comes: and with the humble is wisdom.
3 The integrity of the straight leads them; and the perverseness of them who deal covertly ravages them.
4 Wealth benefits not in the day of fury; and justness rescues from death.
5 The justness of the integrious straightens his way; and the wicked falls by his own wickedness.
6 The justness of the straight rescues them; and they who deal covertly are captured in their own calamity.
7 In the death of a wicked human, his hope destructs; and the hope of the mischievous destructs.
8 The just are rescued from tribulation; and the wicked come in his stead.
9 A profaner, with his mouth, ruins his friend; and through knowledge the just are rescued.
10 In the good of the just, the city jumps for joy; and in destruction of the wicked, they shout.
11 By the blessing of the straight the city is lofted; and by the mouth of the wicked, demolished.
12 Whoever lacks heart disrespects his friend; and a man of discernment hushes.
13 A walking talebearer exposes private counsel; and he of a trustworthy spirit conceals the word.
14 Without counsels, the people fall; and in the abundance of counsellors, there is salvation.
15 He who pledges for a stranger, shouts evil; and he who hates to clap is confident.
16 A woman of charism upholds honor; and tyrants uphold riches.
17 The merciful man deals to his own soul; and he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
18 The wicked work false deeds; and he who seeds justness, a hire of truth.
19 As justness to life; thus he who pursues evil to his own death.
20 They of a perverted heart are an abhorrence to Yah Veh; and the integrious in their way are his pleasure.
21 Hand in hand, the evil are not exonerated; and the seed of the just escapes.
22 As a nosering of gold in the snout of a hog, thus a beautiful woman who turns aside from taste.
23 The desire of the just is only good; and the hope of the wicked is fury.
24 One scatters and yet increases; one sparingly in straightness, but lacks.
25 The soul for blessings fattens; and he who saturates, also flows.
26 He who withholds grain, the nations pierce; and blessing is on the head of him who markets kernels.
27 He who early seeks good, seeks pleasure; and he who seeks evil, it approaches him.
28 He who confides in his riches, falls; and the just blossom as a leaf.
29 He who troubles his own house, inherits the wind; and the fool is servant to the wise of heart.
30 The fruit of the just is a tree of life; and he who takes souls is wise.
31 Behold, the just are shalamed in the earth; much more the wicked and the sinner.
