¹¹ Money that comes easily disappears quickly,
but money that is gathered little by little will grow.

¹² ·It is sad not to get what you hoped for [^LHope delayed makes the heart sick].
But ·wishes that come true are like eating fruit from [longing fulfilled is] the tree of life.

¹³ Those who ·reject what they are taught [despise a word] will pay for it,
but those who ·obey what they are told [respect/fear the commandment] will be rewarded.
