Proverbs 13:11-13
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
11 Wealth hastily gained[a] will dwindle,
but those who gather little by little will increase it.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 Those who despise the word bring destruction on themselves,
but those who respect the commandment will be rewarded.
