Proverbs 13:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ Righteousness guards people of integrity,^[a]
but wickedness undermines the sinner.^(A)

⁷ One man pretends to be rich but has nothing;^(B)
another pretends to be poor but has great wealth.^(C)

⁸ Riches are a ransom for a man’s life,^(D)
but a poor man hears no threat.
