Proverbs 13:11-13
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

11 Wealth hastily gotten[a] will dwindle,
    but he who gathers little by little will increase it.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
    but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 He who despises the word brings destruction on himself,
    but he who respects the commandment will be rewarded.
