Proverbs 13:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ Righteousness keeps him who is upright in the way,
    but wickedness overthrows the sinner.

⁷ There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing;
    there is one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.

⁸ The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
    but the poor does not hear rebuke.
