Proverbs 13:12-14

21st Century King James Version

¹² Hope deferred maketh the heart sick, but when a desire is fulfilled, 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 turn him from the snares of death.
