Proverbs 13:8-10
The Message
8 The rich can be sued for everything they have,
but the poor are free of such threats.
9 The lives of good people are brightly lit streets;
the lives of the wicked are dark alleys.
10 Arrogant know-it-alls stir up discord,
but wise men and women listen to each other’s counsel.
Proverbs 13:8-10
New International Version
8 A person’s riches may ransom their life,
but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes.(A)
9 The light of the righteous shines brightly,
but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.(B)
10 Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.(C)
