Proverbs 13:12-14

Authorized (King James) Version

¹² Hope deferred maketh the heart sick:
    but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

¹³ Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed:
    but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

¹⁴ The law of the wise is a fountain of life,
    to depart from the snares of death.
