Proverbs 13:12-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12. Delayed hope makes the heart sick,but fulfilled desire is a tree of life.

13. The one who has contempt for instruction will pay the penalty, but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.

14. A wise man’s instruction is a fountain of life, turning people away from the snares of death.

15. Good sense wins favor, but the way of the treacherous never changes.

16. Every sensible person acts knowledgeably,but a fool displays his stupidity.
