Proverbs 11:1-3
King James Version
11 A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

Proverbs 11:1-3
Amplified Bible
Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
11 A false balance and dishonest business practices are extremely offensive to the Lord,
But an accurate scale is His delight.(A)
2
When pride comes [boiling up with an arrogant attitude of self-importance], then come dishonor and shame,
But with the humble [the teachable who have been chiseled by trial and who have learned to walk humbly with God] there is wisdom and soundness of mind.
3
The integrity and moral courage of the upright will guide them,
But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them.
Proverbios 11:1-3
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
11 La balanza falsa es abominación al Señor(A),
Pero el peso cabal es Su deleite(B).
2 Cuando viene la soberbia, viene también la deshonra;
Pero la sabiduría está con los humildes(C).
3 La integridad de los rectos los guiará,
Pero la perversidad de los traidores los destruirá(D).
