Proverbs 11:1-3 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. The Lord hates it when people use scales to cheat others. But he is delighted when people use honest weights.

2. When pride comes, shame follows. But wisdom comes to those who are not proud.

3. Those who do what is right are guided by their honest lives. But those who aren't faithful are destroyed by their trickery.
