New Testament

Proverbs 13:4-8 American Standard Version (ASV)

4. The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

5. A righteous man hateth lying; But a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

6. Righteousness guardeth him that is upright in the way; But wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

7. There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth.

8. The ransom of a man’s life is his riches; But the poor heareth no threatening.
