Proverbs 13:12-14

¹²Better is he that begins to help heartily, than he that promises and leads another to hope: for a good desire is a tree of life.

¹³He that slights a matter shall be slighted of it: but he that fears the commandment has health of soul.

^13aTo a crafty son there shall be nothing good: but a wise servant shall have prosperous doings, and his way shall be directed aright.

¹⁴The law of the wise is a fountain of life: but the man void of understanding shall die by a snare.
