Proverbs 13:7-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. There is one who makes himself rich, Yet has none at all. And one who makes himself poor, Yet has great riches.

8. The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, But the poor does not hear rebuke.

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.
