Proverbs 13:11-13

Lexham English Bible

¹¹ Wealth gained from haste^[a] will dwindle,
    but he who gathers little by little^[b] will increase it.
¹² Hope that is deferred makes the heart^[c] sick,
    but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
¹³ He who despises a word will bring destruction on himself,
    but he who respects a commandment will be rewarded.
