אַל־תֹּאמַר אֲשַׁלְּמָה־רָע קַוֵּה לַֽיהוָה וְיֹשַֽׁע לָֽךְ
Say not thou: ‘I will requite evil’; wait for the LORD, and He will save thee.
תּוֹעֲבַת יְהוָה אֶבֶן וָאָבֶן וּמֹאזְנֵי מִרְמָה לֹא־טֽוֹב
Divers weights are an abomination to the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
מֵיהוָה מִצְעֲדֵי־גָבֶר וְאָדָם מַה־יָּבִין דַּרְכּֽוֹ
A man’s goings are of the LORD; how then can man look to his way?
מוֹקֵשׁ אָדָם יָלַע קֹדֶשׁ וְאַחַר נְדָרִים לְבַקֵּֽר
It is a snare to a man rashly to say: ‘Holy’, and after vows to make inquiry.
מְזָרֶה רְשָׁעִים מֶלֶךְ חָכָם וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם אוֹפָֽן
A wise king sifteth the wicked, and turneth the wheel over them.
