8The Redemption of the soul of a man is his riches; but he that is poor, suffereth not blaming. (The ransom for a man’s lifeis his riches; but he who is poor, shall not even suffer threats.)
9The light of just men maketh glad; but the lantern of wicked men shall be quenched. (The light of the righteous maketh happy, or inspireth; but the lantern of the wicked shall be quenched.)
10Strives be ever among proud men; but they that do all things with counsel, be governed by wisdom. (There is always strife, or arguments, among the proud; but they who do all things with advice, be governed by wisdom.)
11Hasted chattel, that is, gotten hastily, shall be made less; but that that is gathered little and little with hand, shall be multiplied, (or but that which is gathered little by little, shall be multiplied).
12Hope which is delayed, tormenteth the soul; a tree of life is (a) desire (that is) coming.
