Proverbs 13:13

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹² Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life is the coming desire. ¹³ Whoso is despising the Word is destroyed for it, And whoso is fearing the Command is repayed. ¹⁴ The law of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.
