Proverbs 13:8
6 Righteousness guards the man of integrity, but wickedness undermines the sinner.
7 One pretends to be rich, but has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
Riches may ransom a man’s life, but a poor man hears no threat.
9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
10 Arrogance leads only to strife, but wisdom is with the well-advised.
