Proverbs 13:7-11

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.

¹¹Wealth gotten hastily with iniquity is diminished: but he that gathers for himself with godliness shall be increased. The righteous is merciful, and lends.
