Pride and wealth gotten by vanity

Pride and wealth gotten by vanity

(Verses 10 and 11 in chapter 13 of Proverbs are clubbed together).

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom (Pro.13:10).

People with a prideful heart cause contention everywhere as they do not get wisdom by humility. They do not accept views of others. Their mind is closed as not to receive wisdom from others. The pride in their heart causes mischief or violence. But with the well advised is wisdom. Those who receive advises from others receive wisdom.Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. (Pro.13:11)Wealth gotten by vanities like deceit or fraud, corruption and by unrighteous or illegal means will be diminished in due course. It will never last for ever. Though your progeny inherits your wealth gotten by vanity, it will be diminished and they cannot truly enjoy it in the long run.
