7A man is as rich, when he hath nothing; and a man is as poor, when he is in many riches.
8The Redemption of the soul of a man is his riches; but he that is poor, suffereth not blaming.
9The light of just or rightwise men maketh glad; but the lantern of wicked men shall be quenched.
10Strives be ever among proud men; but they that do all things with counsel, be governed by wisdom.
11Hasted chattel or substance, that is, gotten hastily, shall be made less; but that that is gathered little and little with hand, shall be multiplied.
