Proverbs 13:4-9

⁴The sluggard longeth in his soul, and there cometh nothing; but the soul of the diligent will be abundantly gratified.

⁵The righteous hateth the word of falsehood; but the wicked bringeth shame and dishonor.

⁶Righteousness keepeth him that is upright on his way; but wickedness perverteth the man of sin.

⁷There is some one that pretendeth to be rich without having any thing; another that pretendeth to be poor while having abundant wealth.

⁸As the ransom of a man's life hath he often to give his riches; but the poor heareth no threat.

⁹The light of the righteous burneth joyfully; but the lamp of the wicked will be quenched.
