11 El Señor aborrece las balanzas adulteradas,
    pero aprueba las pesas exactas.

Con el orgullo viene la deshonra;
    con la humildad, la sabiduría.

A los justos los guía su integridad;
    a los infieles los destruye su perversidad.

la sabiduría está con los humildes.

A los hombres rectos los guía su rectitud;
a los hombres falsos los destruye su falsedad.
