Proverbs 13:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹The light of the righteous rejoices,
    but the lamp of the wicked goes out.
¹⁰By insolence the heedless make strife,
    but wisdom is with those who take advice.
¹¹Wealth hastily gained^[a] will dwindle,
    but those who gather little by little will increase it.
