6 Justice guards one who walks honestly,but sin leads the wicked astray.
7 One acts rich but has nothing;another acts poor but has great wealth.
8 People’s riches serve as ransom for their lives,but the poor do not even hear a threat.
9 The light of the just gives joy,but the lamp of the wicked goes out.
10 The stupid sow discord by their insolence,but wisdom is with those who take counsel.
11 Wealth won quickly dwindles away,but gathered little by little, it grows.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,but a wish fulfilled is a tree of life.
