Proverbs 13:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.

¹² Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life.

¹³ Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.
