9The light of the righteous rejoiceth; but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10By pride there only cometh contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom.
11Wealth gotten by vanity diminisheth; but he that gathereth by manual-labour shall increase it.
12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but the desire that cometh to pass is a tree of life.
13Whoso despiseth the word shall be held by it; but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14The teaching of the wise man is a fountain of life, to turn away from the snares of death.
