Proverbs 13:11-15

Wealth obtained from nothing dwindles, But one who gathers by labor increases it.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

One who despises the word will do badly, But one who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn aside from the snares of death.

Good understanding produces favor, But the way of the treacherous is their own disaster.
