Proverbs 13:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart. But when the desire comes, it is as a tree of life.

¹³ Whoever despises the word, shall be destroyed. But he who fears the commandment, shall be rewarded.

¹⁴ The instruction of the wise is as the wellspring of life, to turn away from the snares of death.
