Proverbs 11:1-3

11 A deceitful balance is an abomination before the Lord: and a just weight is his will.

²Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom.

³The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them.
