Proverbs 13:6-8

World English Bible

⁶ Righteousness guards the way of integrity,
    but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
⁷ There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing.
    There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
⁸ The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
    but the poor hear no threats.
