The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
But He blesses the home of the just and righteous.

But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day.

So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife;
Whoever touches her will not be found innocent or go unpunished.

A false balance and dishonest business practices are extremely offensive to the Lord,
But an accurate scale is His delight.

A just balance and [honest] scales are the Lord’s;
All the weights of the bag are His concern [established by His eternal principles].

Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And he who speaks right is loved.
