8The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: But the poor heareth not rebuke.
9The light of the righteous rejoiceth: But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10Only by pride cometh contention: But with the well advised is wisdom.
11Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: But he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
13Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
