Proverbs 13:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ Wealth gained out of thin air^[a] shrinks,
but wealth accumulated by steady work grows.
¹² Hope delayed makes a heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
¹³ The person who despises a word of instruction will pay the price,
but the person who respects a command will be rewarded.
