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.

¹⁷Don’t envy sinners,
but always continue to fear the Lord.
¹⁸You will be rewarded for this;
your hope will not be disappointed.

¹⁷Don’t let your heart envy sinners,
    but fear the Lord constantly;
¹⁸        then you will have a future,
        and your hope won’t be cut off.
