9 The light of the righteous rejoices,but the lamp of the wicked goes out.
10 The empty-headed cause conflict out of pride;those who take advice are wise.
11 Riches gotten quickly will dwindle,but those who acquire them gradually become wealthy.
12 Hope delayed makes the heart sick;longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 Trouble will come on those who despise a word,but those who respect the commandment will be rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,turning a person away from deathtraps.
15 Good insight brings favor,but the way of the faithless is their ruin.
