PROVERBS 13:5-9

⁵A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

⁶Righteousness guardeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

⁷There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth.

⁸The ransom of a man’s life is his riches: but the poor heareth no threatening.

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