Proverbs 13:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵Those who do right hate what is false.
But those who do wrong stink and bring shame on themselves.

⁶Doing right guards those who are honest.
But evil destroys those who are sinful.

⁷Some people pretend to be rich but have nothing.
Others pretend to be poor but have great wealth.
