⁷ One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
    another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
⁸ The ransom of a man’s life is his wealth,
    but a poor man has no means of redemption.^[a]

¹¹ Wealth hastily gotten^[a] will dwindle,
    but he who gathers little by little will increase it.

²² A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
    but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.
