¹² It is sad not to get what you hoped for.
    But wishes that come true are like eating fruit from the tree of life.

¹⁹ It is so good when wishes come true,
    but fools hate to stop doing evil.

¹⁷ Don’t envy sinners,
    but always respect the Lord.
¹⁸ Then you will have hope for the future,
    and your wishes will come true.
