Proverbs 13:8

Compare all

6 ^aRighteousness guards him whose way is blameless,
But wickedness overthrows the sinner.

7 ^aThere is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing;
And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.

8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
But the poor does not hear rebuke.

9 The light of the righteous rejoices,
^aBut the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

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