12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
13Whoso despiseth the word shall suffer thereby; but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15Good understanding giveth grace; but the way of the faithless is harsh.
16Every prudent man dealeth with forethought; but a fool unfoldeth folly.
17A wicked messenger falleth into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health.
