7 Some who have nothingmay pretend to be rich,and some who have everythingmay pretend to be poor.
8 The rich may haveto pay a ransom,but the poor don't havethat problem.
9 The lamp of a good personkeeps on shining;the lamp of an evil personsoon goes out.
10 Too much pride causes trouble.Be sensible and take advice.
11 Money wrongly gainedwill disappear bit by bit;money earned little by littlewill grow and grow.
12 Not getting what you wantcan break your heart,but a wish that comes trueis a life-giving tree.
13 If you reject God's teaching,you will pay the price;if you obey his commands,you will be rewarded.
