“Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: But wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: But the poor heareth not rebuke.
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Only by pride cometh contention: But with the well advised is wisdom.
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: But he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
The law of the wise is a fountain of life, To depart from the snares of death.
Good understanding giveth favour: But the way of transgressors is hard.”
Proverbs 13:1-15 KJV
