7 One is like the rich, though he has nothing. And another is like the poor, though he has many riches.
8 The redemption of a man's life is his riches. But he who is poor cannot tolerate correction.
9 The light of the just enriches. But the lamp of the impious will be extinguished.
10 Among the arrogant, there are always conflicts. But those who do everything with counsel are ruled by wisdom.
11 Substance obtained in haste will be diminished. But what is collected by hand, little by little, shall be multiplied.
12 Hope, when it is delayed, afflicts the soul. The arrival of the desired is a tree of life.
13 Whoever denounces something obligates himself for the future. But whoever fears a lesson shall turn away in peace. Deceitful souls wander into sins. The just are merciful and compassionate.
