7  ^cOne ^dpretends to be rich,¹ yet has nothing;

another pretends to be poor,² yet has great wealth.

8  The ransom of a man’s life is his wealth,

but a poor man hears no threat.

11  Wealth gained ^fhastily¹ will dwindle,

but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.

22  A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,

^ubut the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.
