Proverbs 13:7-12 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

7. There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing.There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.

8. The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,but the poor hear no threats.

9. The light of the righteous shines brightly,but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.

10. Pride only breeds quarrels,but wisdom is with people who take advice.

11. Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

12. Hope deferred makes the heart sick,but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
