8 The ransom of a man's life [is] his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be extinguished.
10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well-advised [is] wisdom.
11 Wealth [gotten] by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labor shall increase.
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but [when] the desire cometh, [it is] a tree of life.
