7There is that pretendeth himself rich, yet hath nothing; there is that pretendeth himself poor, yet hath great wealth.
8The ransom of a man's life are his riches; but the poor heareth no threatening.
9The light of the righteous rejoiceth; 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 shall be diminished; but he that gathereth little by little shall increase.
12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
13Whoso despiseth the word shall suffer thereby; but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15Good understanding giveth grace; but the way of the faithless is harsh.
