Proverbs 13:5-10

⁵A righteous man hates an unjust word: but an ungodly man is ashamed, and will have no confidence.

⁷There are some who, having nothing, enrich themselves: and there are some who bring themselves down in the midst of much wealth.

⁸A man's own wealth is the ransom of his life: but the poor endures not threatening.

⁹The righteous always have light: but the light of the ungodly is quenched. Crafty souls go astray in sins: but just men pity, and are merciful.

¹⁰A bad man does evil with insolence: but they that are judges of themselves are wise.
