Proverbs 13:6-11
New King James Version
6 (A)Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless,
But wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7 (B)There 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,
(C)But the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
10 By pride comes nothing but (D)strife,
But with the well-advised is wisdom.
11 (E)Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished,
But he who gathers by labor will increase.
Proverbs 13:6-11
Young's Literal Translation
6 Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.
7 There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth [is] abundant.
8 The ransom of a man's life [are] his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
10 A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled [is] wisdom.
11 Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.
