Proverbs 13:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Righteousness guards him whose way is upright,
    but sin overthrows the wicked.
⁷ One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
    another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
⁸ The ransom of a man’s life is his wealth,
    but a poor man has no means of redemption.^[a]
