but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

Proverbs 13:12

American Standard Version

¹²Hope deferred maketh the heart sick;
But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

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

¹⁹The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul;
But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

³⁰The light of the eyes rejoices the heart.
Good news gives health to the bones.

³⁰The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart;
And good tidings make the bones fat.

²²A cheerful heart makes good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

²²A cheerful heart ^[a]is a good medicine;
But a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
