Proverbs 13:12-15

¹²When people do not receive the things that they are expecting to receive, ◄it causes them to despair/they become very sad►; but if you receive what you are desiring to get, that will be like a tree MET whose fruit gives you life (OR, that will cause you to be joyful).

¹³Those who despise the good advice that others give them are bringing ruin on themselves; those who pay attention to that advice will ◄be secure/succeed►.

¹⁴What wise people teach is like a fountain whose water gives life MET; what they teach you will help you to escape when something dangerous is threatening to kill you MET.

¹⁵People respect those who have good sense, but those who cannot be trusted are on the road to being ruined/destroyed (OR, will have a lot of difficulties/troubles).
