- 1A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
- 2When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
- 3The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
- 4Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
- 5The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
- 6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
- 7When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
- 8The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
- 9An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
- 10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
- 11By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
- 12He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
- 13A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
- 14Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
- 15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
- 16A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.
- 17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
- 18The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
- 19As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
- 20They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
- 21Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
- 22As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
- 23The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
- 24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
- 25The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
- 26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
- 27He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
- 28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
- 29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
- 30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
- 31Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.

The Great Whore (Part 2)
In The Great Whore (Part 2), Pastor Dean Odle argues that Jesus Christ is sufficient as Savior, high priest, intercessor, and the one mediator between God and humanity. Beginning with his own struggle, weakness, and need for grace, he contrasts biblical faith in Christ's blood with religious systems that, in his view, place Mary, saints, priests, sacraments, images, relics, or church tradition between the believer and Christ. First Timothy 2:5-6, Romans 3 and 5, Exodus 20, and Colossians 2 form the message's principal biblical foundation.
