- Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
- There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
- The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
- The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
- Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

- Righteousness guards the man of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
- One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
- A man's riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat.
- The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
- Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
