A few Proverbs ...

"The LORD detests dishonest scales, 
but accurate weights find favor with him.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.

The integrity of the upright guides them. 
but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, 
but righteousness delivers from death.

The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the unfaithful are trapped by their evil desires.

Hopes placed in mortals die with them; 
all the promise of their power comes to nothing.

The righteous person is rescued from trouble,
and it falls on the wicked instead.

With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors,
but through knowledge the righteousness escape. 

When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;
when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy. 

Proverbs 11: 1 - 10
