Proverbs, 11
1. A deceitful balance is an abomination before the Lord: and a just weight is his will.
1. ζυγοὶ δόλιοι βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον κυρίου στάθμιον δὲ δίκαιον δεκτὸν αὐτῷ
2. Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom.
2. οὗ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃ ὕβρις ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀτιμία στόμα δὲ ταπεινῶν μελετᾷ σοφίαν
3. The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them.
3. ἀποθανὼν δίκαιος ἔλιπεν μετάμελον πρόχειρος δὲ γίνεται καὶ ἐπίχαρτος ἀσεβῶν ἀπώλεια
