Proverbs 13:9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Here we see that the righteous like doing all things in the light and are not ashamed of the life they live. The wicked does not like anyone to see what are doing so like the darkness to hide in.This image of life, prosperity and joy is contrasted with adversity and then death.
Pride is one of things that stands in the way of lot people accomplishing the things God would have for them to do. Prideful people do not like taking advice from others and are not teachable. Wise people are eager to learn and become wiser for it. The proud spurn the advice given from others while the wise accept it.
For people who gain wealth quickly by doing things that are crooked or unlawful will loose it about as fast as they get it because God will not bless it. It is what we hear a lot “easy come, easy go”. The best gained wealth is the rewards you get from hard work. When you work for what you have you appreciate more and if you give of it to those that need it God will bless you even more.
If we will be determined to keep everything we do in the light for everyone to see and keep our pride out of the way and humble ourselves and do the work God allows us to do to gain what we need we will be blessed for above what we can imagine.
