Proverbs 13:14 BBE

¹²  Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.

¹³  He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.

¹⁴  The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.

¹⁵  Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.

¹⁶  A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.
