Proverbs 13:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ Somebody who has nothing may still pretend to be rich.
    Somebody else may pretend to be poor, but he is very rich.
⁸ A rich person may have to use his money to save his life.
    But poor people do not have that problem.
⁹ Righteous people have joy that shines like a bright light.
    But wicked people have a light that will quickly go out.
