A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.

The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
