Proverbs

When it goes well with the righteous the city rejoices and when the wicked perish there is shouting.

With his mouth the ungodly destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are delivered.

The righteous one is rescued from trouble: In his place the wicked goes in.

When a wicked man dies, his expectation comes to nothing. Hope placed in wealth vanishes.

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but transgressors are trapped by their own desires.

The righteousness of the blameless shall direct his way, but the wicked person shall fall because of his wickedness.

Wealth is not profitable on the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

The integrity of the upright guides them, but the perversity of the treacherous destroys them.

Dishonest scales are an abomination to Jehovah, but an accurate weight is His delight.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked speaks forwardness.
