Proverbs 13:10

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

⁹ The light of the righteous shall rejoice: but the fire of the wicked shall be put out. ¹⁰ Through insolence comes nothing but strife,
But wisdom is with those who receive counsel.
¹¹ The riches of vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labour shall increase.
