7. There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth (Proverbs 13:7)

Do not make the base on the wealthy life, but to the obedience of God's will.

Here is the original proverbs, from the Hebrew scripture.

7. There is, that makes himself rich, and yet nothing, all, that makes himself poor, and riches, yet grate. (Proverbs 13:7)

Proverbs 13:7 Interlinear: There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth is abundant.

So we can learn that the original message seems to be like this below.

There is those, who makes them self rich, but yet nothing, but all who makes them selves poor, and rich, yet grate.

The richness is in the Lord Jesus Christ, but not in the false richness of world, like money, goods, and wealthy life.
