Proverbs 13:8-13

⁸The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but he that is poor beareth not reprehension.

⁹The light of the just giveth joy: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

¹⁰Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.

¹¹Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.

¹²Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life.

¹³Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.
