Proverbs 13:12

New Living Translation

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

Proverbs 13:12

Common English Bible

¹²Hope delayed makes the heart sick;
longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

¹⁹It is pleasant to see dreams come true,
but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.

¹⁹A desire fulfilled is pleasant,
but fools find deviating from evil disgusting.

³⁰A cheerful look brings joy to the heart;
good news makes for good health.

³⁰Bright eyes give joy to the heart;
good news strengthens the bones.

²²A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

²²A joyful heart helps healing,
but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
