Proverbs 13:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ Money gained in the wrong way disappears.
    But money gathered little by little grows.

¹² Hope that is put off makes one sick at heart.
    But a desire that is met is like a tree of life.

¹³ Anyone who hates what they are taught will pay for it later.
    But a person who respects a command will be rewarded.
