Proverbs 13:7

Proverbs 13:7 The Message (MSG)

A pretentious, showy life is an empty life; a plain and simple life is a full life.

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

There is one who pretends to be rich, but has nothing; Another pretends to be poor, but has great wealth.

Some people pretend to be rich but really have nothing. Others pretend to be poor but really are wealthy.

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth.

One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.

There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing at all; Another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. [Prov 12:9; Luke 12:20, 21]

Some who are poor pretend to be rich; others who are rich pretend to be poor.

One pretends to be rich but is poor. Another pretends to be poor but is quite rich.

One pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
