Proverbs 13:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ By insolence the heedless make strife,
    but wisdom is with those who take advice.
¹¹ Wealth hastily gotten^[a] will dwindle,
    but those who gather little by little will increase it.
¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
    but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
