Proverbs 13:10
(the voice translation)
Arrogance only produces arguments,
    but wisdom accompanies those well advised.

summary:

Pride sparks conflict; humble counsel yields wisdom (v. 10). “Dishonest wealth will dwindle, but he who gathers by labor increases it” (v. 11). Deferred hope weakens the heart; fulfilled desire revives it (v. 12).

verses 11-12
~ for context ~
(Berean Standard Bible)
Dishonest wealth will dwindle,
but what is earned through hard work will be multiplied.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

Authorship and Setting
Solomon, famed for composing “three thousand proverbs” (1 Kings 4:32), penned these sayings in the tenth century B.C. Royal scribes under Hezekiah later copied them (Proverbs 25:1). Judah’s agrarian hills, busy trade routes, and family compounds form the backdrop.
