Proverbs 13:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹Money that comes easily disappears quickly.
But money that is gathered little by little will slowly grow.

¹²It is sad when you don’t get what you hoped for.
But when wishes come true, it’s like eating fruit from the tree of life.

¹³Whoever rejects what he is taught will pay for it.
But whoever does what he is told will be rewarded.
