Proverbs [Sayings] 13:6-14

⁷There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.

⁸The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, but the poor sh'ma ·hear obey· no threats.

⁹The light of the upright shines brightly, but the lamp candle of the wicked is snuffed out.

¹⁰Pride only breeds quarrels, but with ones who take advice is wisdom.

¹¹Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

¹²Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

¹³Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a charge will be rewarded.

¹⁴The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death.
