Proverbs 13:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶ Righteousness guards one whose way is upright,
    but sin overthrows the wicked.^(A)
7 Some pretend to be rich yet have nothing;
    others pretend to be poor yet have great wealth.^(B)
8 Wealth is a ransom for a person’s life,
    but a poor person pays no attention to a rebuke.
