8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor hears not rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoices: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Only by pride comes strife: but with the well advised is wisdom.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labor 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 be destroyed: 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.
