Proverbs 13:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² It is sad when you don’t get what you hoped for.
    But when wishes come true, it’s like eating fruit from the tree of life.

¹³ Whoever rejects what he is taught will pay for it.
    But whoever does what he is told will be rewarded.

¹⁴ The teaching of a wise person gives life.
    It is like a fountain of water that can save people from death.
