⁷ One person pretends to be wealthy, but has nothing;
    another pretends to be poor, yet is rich.
⁸ The life of a wealthy man may be held for ransom,
    but whoever is poor receives no threats.

¹¹ Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,
    but whoever works diligently increases his prosperity.^[a]

²² A good person leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren,
    but the wealth of the wicked is reserved for the righteous.
