Proverbs 13:13

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹² Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. ¹³ Whoso despiseth the word bringeth destruction on himself; But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. ¹⁴ The law of the wise is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death.
