Proverbs 13:6

IntegrityProtection and safety

4 The slacker craves yet has nothing, but the soul of the diligent is fully satisfied.

5 The righteous hate falsehood, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace.

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.

8 Riches may ransom a man’s life, but a poor man hears no threat.
