Proverbs 13:11

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.

Dishonest wealth will dwindle, but what is earned through hard work will be multiplied.

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

13 He who despises instruction will pay the penalty, but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
