8 The redemption of a man’s life is his riches: but the poor does not hear rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous shall rejoice: but the fire of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Pride shall certainly give birth to contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
11 The riches of vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labour shall increase.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
13 Whosoever despises the word shall perish by it: but he that fears the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
