Proverbs 13:12-14

New King James Version

¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But ^(A)when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

¹³ He who ^(B)despises the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
^14 (C)The law of the wise is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from ^(D)the snares of death.
