A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹¹ Hastily gotten goods are soon spent; but they that be gathered together with the hand, shall increase. ¹² Hope deferred grieveth the heart; but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. ¹³ Whoso despiseth the word, destroyeth himself; but he that feareth the commandment shall have peace.
