New Century Version

Proverbs 13:7-12 New Century Version (NCV)

7. Some people pretend to be rich but really have nothing.Others pretend to be poor but really are wealthy.

8. The rich may have to pay a ransom for their lives,but the poor will face no such danger.

9. Good people can look forward to a bright future,but the future of the wicked is like a flame going out.

10. Pride only leads to arguments,but those who take advice are wise.

11. Money that comes easily disappears quickly,but money that is gathered little by little will grow.

12. It is sad not to get what you hoped for.But wishes that come true are like eating fruit from the tree of life.
