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.
12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But the desire accomplished is a tree of life.
