Proverbs 13: 7-11
NRSV
Some pretend to be rich, yet have nothing; others pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
Wealth is a ransom for a person’s life, but the poor get no threats.
The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked goes out.
By insolence the heedless make strife, but wisdom is with those who take advice.
Wealth hastily gotten will dwindle, but those who gather little by little will increase it.
