6Righteousness preserveth him who is upright in his way; But wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7There is who maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing, Who maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
8A man's wealth is the ransom of his life; But the poor man heareth no threatenings.
9The light of the righteous shall rejoice; But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.
11Wealth gotten by vanity will become small; But he who gathereth it into the hand increaseth it.
