Proverbs 13:8–9

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

but a poor man hears no threat.

The light of the righteous rejoices,

but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

A person’s riches may ransom their life,

but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes.

The light of the righteous shines brightly,

but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.

Riches are a ransom for a person’s life,

but a poor person hears no threat.

The light of the righteous shines brightly,

but the lamp of the wicked is put out.

The rich can pay a ransom for their lives,

but the poor won’t even get threatened.

The life of the godly is full of light and joy,

but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.

The ransom of the life of a man is his wealth,

but the poor does not receive a threat.

The light of the righteous will rejoice,

but the lamp of the wicked will die out.

The ransom of a man’s life are his riches:

But the poor heareth not rebuke.

The light of the righteous rejoiceth:

But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
