Proverbs 13:11-13

World English Bible

¹¹ Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,
    but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
    but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
¹³ Whoever despises instruction will pay for it,
    but he who respects a command will be rewarded.
