Amplified Bible

¹² 
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
¹³ 
Whoever despises the word and counsel [of God] brings destruction upon himself,
But he who [reverently] fears and respects the commandment [of God] will be rewarded.
¹⁴ 
The teaching of the wise is a fountain and source of life,
So that one may avoid the snares of death.
