Proverbs 13:8-14

⁸A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.

⁹There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out.

¹⁰The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.

¹¹Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.

¹²Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.

¹³He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.

¹⁴The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.
