Proverbs 13:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ Wealth is a ransom for a person’s life,
    but a poor person pays no attention to a rebuke.
⁹ The light of the righteous rejoices,^[a]
    but the lamp of the wicked goes out.^(A)
10 By insolence the empty-headed person makes strife,
    but wisdom is with those who take advice.^(B)
