Proverbs 13:11-13
Common English Bible

11 Riches gotten quickly[a] will dwindle,
    but those who acquire them gradually become wealthy.
12 Hope delayed makes the heart sick;
    longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 Trouble will come on those who despise a word,
    but those who respect the commandment will be rewarded.
