Proverbs 13:8

The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor hears not rebuke.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 13:8 Go To Proverbs 13

Bede

AD 735
As Solomon says, “A man’s own wealth is the redemption of his soul.” This might be temporal wealth which one distributes and gives to the poor so that one’s righteousness may endure forever, or it might be spiritual wealth in the form of the righteousness that one has attained by taking pity on the poor or by doing other good things.
