Proverbs 13:8

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

⁷
There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing at all;
Another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
⁸ 
The ransom for a man’s life is his wealth,
But the poor man does not even have to listen to a rebuke or threats [from the envious].
⁹
The light of the righteous [within him—grows brighter and] rejoices,
But the lamp of the wicked [is a temporary light and] goes out.
