Proverbs 13:12

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹¹ Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it. ¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
¹³ Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded.
