Proverbs 13:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ The more easily you get your wealth, the sooner you will lose it. The harder it is to earn, the more you will have.

¹² When hope is crushed, the heart is crushed, but a wish come true fills you with joy.

¹³ If you refuse good advice, you are asking for trouble; follow it and you are safe.
