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.
