7 Some who are poor pretend to be rich;others who are rich pretend to be poor.
8 The rich can pay a ransom for their lives,but the poor won’t even get threatened.
9 The life of the godly is full of light and joy,but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
10 Pride leads to conflict;those who take advice are wise.
11 Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;wealth from hard work grows over time.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 People who despise advice are asking for trouble;those who respect a command will succeed.
