Proverbs 13:12-14

The Voice

¹² Hope postponed grieves the heart;
    but when a dream comes true, life is full and sweet.
¹³ The one who hates good counsel will reap failure and ruin,
    but the one who reveres God’s instruction will be rewarded.
¹⁴ Wise instruction is a spring yielding a satisfied life;
    those who follow it avoid the traps that lead to death.
