One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.

9
The light of the just giveth joy: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10
Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.
11
Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand, shall increase.
12
Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh, is a tree of life.
13
Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.
14
The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.
