Proverbs 13:10

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

⁹ There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out. ¹⁰ The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit. ¹¹ Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
