Proverbs 13:9-15

⁹The light of the righteous burneth joyfully; but the lamp of the wicked will be quenched.

¹⁰Only through presumptuous conduct doth man produce contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom.

¹¹Wealth gotten by vain deeds will be diminished; but he that gathereth by close labor will increase it.

¹²Expectation long deferred maketh the heart sick; but a tree of life is a desire which is fulfilled.

¹³Whoso despiseth the word shall fall in debt to it; but he that feareth the commandment will be rewarded.

¹⁴The instruction of the wise is a source of life, teaching to avoid the snares of death.

¹⁵Good intelligence giveth grace; but the way of the treacherous is hard.
