Proverbs 13:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,
    but whoever works diligently increases his prosperity.^[a]

¹² Delayed hope makes the heart ill,
    but fulfilled longing is a tree of life.

¹³ Anyone who despises a word of advice will pay for it,
    but whoever heeds a command will be rewarded.
