Proverbs 13:12

World English Bible

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

Proverbs 13:12

New Living Translation

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

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

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

¹⁷Don’t let your heart envy sinners,
but rather fear Yahweh all day long.
¹⁸Indeed surely there is a future hope,
and your hope will not be cut off.

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