Proverbs 13:9-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. The light of the just gives joy,but the lamp of the wicked goes out.

10. The stupid sow discord by their insolence,but wisdom is with those who take counsel.

11. Wealth won quickly dwindles away,but gathered little by little, it grows.

12. Hope deferred makes the heart sick,but a wish fulfilled is a tree of life.

13. Whoever despises the word must pay for it,but whoever reveres the command will be rewarded.
