Proverbs 13:12-14
International Standard Version

12 Delayed hope makes the heart ill,
    but fulfilled longing is a tree of life.

13 Anyone who despises a word of advice will pay for it,
    but whoever heeds a command will be rewarded.
14 What the wise have to teach is a fountain of life
    and causes someone to avoid the snares of death.
