Proverbs 13:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Doing right guards those who are honest.
    But evil destroys those who are sinful.

⁷ Some people pretend to be rich but have nothing.
    Others pretend to be poor but have great wealth.

⁸ A person’s riches might save their life.
    But a poor person is not able to do anything about danger.
