¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
    but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

¹⁹ Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
    but fools detest turning from evil.

¹⁷ Don’t let your heart envy sinners,
    but rather fear Yahweh all day long.
¹⁸ Indeed surely there is a future hope,
    and your hope will not be cut off.
