Proverbs 13:10 Context
8The ransome of a mans life are his riches: but the poore heareth not rebuke. 9The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the lampe of the wicked shall be put out. 10Onely by pride commeth contention: but with the well aduised is wisedome. 11Wealth gotten by vanitie shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour, shall increase. 12Hope deferred maketh the heart sicke: but when the desire commeth, it is a tree of life.
