Proverbs 13:6-12

1. 6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

2. 7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

3. 8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.

4. 9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

5. 10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

6. 11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

7. 12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
