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.
