Proverbs 13:6-9 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless,but sin overthrows the wicked.

7. One pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

8. The ransom of a man’s life is his wealth,but a poor man hears no threat.

9. The light of the righteous rejoices,but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
