Proverbs 11:1-6

New American Standard Bible

11 A ^(A)false balance is an abomination to the Lord,
But a ^(B)just weight is His delight.
² When ^(C)pride comes, then comes dishonor;
But with the humble there is wisdom.
³ The ^(D)integrity of the upright will guide them,
But the ^(E)perversity of the treacherous will destroy them.
^4 (F)Riches do not benefit on the day of wrath,
But ^(G)righteousness rescues from death.
⁵ The ^(H)righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way,
But ^(I)the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.
⁶ The righteousness of the upright will rescue them,
But the treacherous will ^(J)be caught by their own greed.
