Proverbs 13:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 The lamp of a good person
keeps on shining;
the lamp of an evil person
soon goes out.
10 Too much pride causes trouble.
Be sensible and take advice.
11 Money wrongly[a] gained
will disappear bit by bit;
money earned little by little
will grow and grow.
