Proverbs 13:11-13

Modern English Version

¹¹ Wealth gained by vanity will be diminished,
    but he who gathers by labor will increase.

¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
    but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

¹³ Whoever despises the word will be destroyed,
    but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
