12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, (A)but a desire fulfilled is (B)a tree of life.
12 Hope delayed makes the heart sick; longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
19 (A)A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.
19 A desire fulfilled is pleasant, but fools find deviating from evil disgusting.
30 (A)The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and (B)good news refreshes[a] the bones.
30 Bright eyes give joy to the heart; good news strengthens the bones.
22 (A)A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit (B)dries up the bones.
22 A joyful heart helps healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
