The godly and the wicked contrasted – Part 14

“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
