12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But ^awhen the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

13 He who ^adespises the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

14 ^aThe law of the wise is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from ^bthe snares of death.

15 Good understanding¹ gains ^afavor,
But the way of the unfaithful is hard.

16 ^aEvery prudent man acts with knowledge,
But a fool lays open his folly.
