8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches, But the poor hear no threats.
9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, But the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
10 Pride only breeds quarrels, But with ones who take advice is wisdom.
11 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, But he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
