Proverbs 13:5-11

⁵A righteous man hateth lying; but the wicked maketh himself odious and cometh to shame.

⁶Righteousness preserveth him that is perfect in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

⁷There is that feigneth himself rich, and hath nothing; there is that maketh himself poor, and hath great wealth.

⁸The ransom of a man's life is his riches; but the indigent heareth not rebuke.

⁹The light of the righteous rejoiceth; but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

¹⁰By pride there only cometh contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom.

¹¹Wealth gotten by vanity diminisheth; but he that gathereth by manual-labour shall increase it.
