Proverbs 13:6-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

13. Whoever despises the word must pay for it,but whoever reveres the command will be rewarded.

14. The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,turning one from the snares of death.
