Proverbs 13:12-14
Modern English Version
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
13 Whoever despises the word will be destroyed,
but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
to depart from the snares of death.
Proverbs 13:12-14
New International Version
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.(A)
