9 But the lamp of the wrong is put out.
10 By pride comes only strife, But wisdom is with those who take advice.
11 Wealth from vanity diminishes, But he who gathers by hand increases.
12 Expectancy drawn out makes the heart sick, But a longing come true is a tree of life.
13 He who despises the Word is destroyed, But he who fears the command is rewarded.
14 The Torah of the wise is a fountain of life, Turning one away from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding gains favour, But the way of the treacherous is hard.
