10 By pride comes nothing but ^astrife,
But with the well-advised is wisdom.

11 ^aWealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished,
But he who gathers by labor will increase.

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But ^awhen the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

13 He who ^adespises the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

To turn one away from ^bthe snares of death.
