7 There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth is abundant.
8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
10 A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled is wisdom.
11 Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.
