ESV

1	A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight.
2	When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.
3	The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.
4	Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
5	The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.
6	The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.
7	When the wicked dies, his hope will perish, and the expectation of wealth perishes too.
8	The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked walks into it instead.
9	With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
10	When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
11	By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.
12	Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent.
13	Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.
14	Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
15	Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.
16	A gracious woman gets honor, and violent men get riches.
17	A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.
18	The wicked earns deceptive wages, but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward.
19	Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die.
20	Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those of blameless ways are his delight.
21	Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
22	Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.
23	The desire of the righteous ends only in good; the expectation of the wicked in wrath.
24	One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25	Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.
26	The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.
27	Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it.
28	Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
29	Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
30	The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise.
31	If the righteous is repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!

NLT

1	The LORD detests the use of dishonest scales, but he delights in accurate weights.
2	Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
3	Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people.
4	Riches won't help on the day of judgment, but right living can save you from death.
5	The godly are directed by honesty; the wicked fall beneath their load of sin.
6	The godliness of good people rescues them; the ambition of treacherous people traps them.
7	When the wicked die, their hopes die with them, for they rely on their own feeble strength.
8	The godly are rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.
9	With their words, the godless destroy their friends, but knowledge will rescue the righteous.
10	The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed; they shout for joy when the wicked die.
11	Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.
12	It is foolish to belittle one's neighbor; a sensible person keeps quiet.
13	A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.
14	Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers.
15	There's danger in putting up security for a stranger's debt; it's safer not to guarantee another person's debt.
16	A gracious woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth.
17	Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you.
18	Evil people get rich for the moment, but the reward of the godly will last.
19	Godly people find life; evil people find death.
20	The LORD detests people with crooked hearts, but he delights in those with integrity.
21	Evil people will surely be punished, but the children of the godly will go free.
22	A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig's snout.
23	The godly can look forward to a reward, while the wicked can expect only judgment.
24	Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything.
25	The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
26	People curse those who hoard their grain, but they bless the one who sells in time of need.
27	If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you!
28	Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.
29	Those who bring trouble on their families inherit the wind. The fool will be a servant to the wise.
30	The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends.
31	If the righteous are rewarded here on earth, what will happen to wicked sinners?

KJV

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