Proverbs 13:7
7 There is one who pretends to be rich, but has nothing;
Another pretends to be poor, but has great wealth..
Why would someone, especially someone who has nothing, pretend to be rich? It likely comes down to self-exaltation. This motive for self-exaltation in the midst of failure is highlighted in the second half of Proverbs 12:9.
