11 
Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles,
But he who gathers gradually by [honest] labor will increase [his riches].

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

Whoever despises the word and counsel [of God] brings destruction upon himself,
But he who [reverently] fears and respects the commandment [of God] will be rewarded.
