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.
14 The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain;those who accept it avoid the snares of death.
15 A person with good sense is respected;a treacherous person is headed for destruction.
