American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
{Hebrew: A balance of deceit.}A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah;But a just weight is his delight.
When pride cometh, then cometh shame;But with the lowly is wisdom.
The integrity of the upright shall guide them;But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
Riches profit not in the day of wrath;But righteousness delivereth from death.
The righteousness of the perfect shall {Or, make straight (or, plain)}direct his way;But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them;But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.
When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish;And the hope of {Or, strong men}iniquity perisheth.
The righteous is delivered out of trouble,And the wicked cometh in his stead.
With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor;But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
