TKJU(i)
1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: But a just weight is His delight.
2 When pride comes, then comes shame: But with the lowly is wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: But the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath: But righteousness delivers from death.
5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: But transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation shall perish: And the hope of unjust men perishes.
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked comes in his stead.
9 A hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor: But through knowledge the just shall be delivered.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices: And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 He that is void of wisdom despises his neighbor: But a man of understanding holds his peace.
13 A talebearer reveals secrets: But he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: And he that hates suretyship is secure.
16 A gracious woman retains honor: And strong men retain riches.
17 The merciful man does good to his own soul: But he that is cruel troubles his own flesh.
18 The wicked works a deceitful work: But to him that sows righteousness shall be a sure reward.
19 As righteousness tends to life: So he that pursues evil pursues it to his own death.
20 Those that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: But such as are upright in their way are His delight.
21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman who is without discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good: But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 There is that which scatters, and yet increases; and there is that which withholds more than is right, but it tends to poverty.
25 The soul that blesses shall be made fat: And he that waters shall also be watered himself.
26 He that withholds grain, the people shall curse him: But blessing shall be upon the head of him that sells it.
27 He that diligently seeks good procures favor: But he that seeks mischief, it shall come to him.
28 He that trusts in his riches shall fall: But the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
29 He that troubles his own house shall inherit the wind: And the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise.
31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: Much more the wicked and the sinner.
