8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,but the poor does not hear rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoices,but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
10 Only by pride comes contention,but with the well-advised is wisdom.
11 Wealth gained by vanity will be diminished,but he who gathers by labor will increase.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
13 Whoever despises the word will be destroyed,but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,to depart from the snares of death.
