Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.

There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth [is] abundant.

The ransom of a man's life [are] his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.

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.

Righteousness (A)guards the [a]one whose way is blameless,
But wickedness brings the [b]sinner to ruin.
There is one who (B)pretends to be rich but has nothing;
Another pretends to be (C)poor, but has great wealth.
The ransom of a person’s life is his wealth,
But the poor hears no rebuke.
The (D)light of the righteous [c]rejoices,
But the (E)lamp of the wicked goes out.
10 Through overconfidence [d]comes nothing but strife,
But wisdom is with those who receive counsel.
11 Wealth obtained from [e]nothing dwindles,
But one who gathers [f]by labor increases it.
