Proverbs 13:7-12 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

7. One pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

8. A man’s riches may ransom his life, but a poor person hears no threat.

9. The light of the righteous shines brightly. The lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.

10. Arrogance yields nothing but strife. Wisdom belongs to those who take advice.

11. Wealth gained by fraud dwindles, but he who gathers by labor increases it.

12. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
