Proverbs 13:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 13:9

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.

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.

14 ^aThe law of the wise is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from ^bthe snares of death.
