11 ¹⁴Wealth gained hastily^b will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, ¹⁵but a desire fulfilled is ¹⁶a tree of life.

13 Whoever ¹⁷despises ¹⁸the word brings destruction on himself, but he who reveres the commandment will be ¹⁹rewarded.

14 The teaching of the wise is ²⁰a fountain of life, that one may ²¹turn away from the snares of death.

15 ²²Good sense wins ²³favor, but the way of the treacherous is their ruin.^c

16 ²⁴In everything the prudent acts with knowledge, ²⁵but a fool flaunts his folly.

17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but ²⁶a faithful envoy brings healing.

18 Poverty and disgrace come to him who ²⁷ignores instruction, ²⁸but whoever ²⁹heeds reproof is honored.

20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

21 ³¹Disaster^d pursues sinners, ³²but the righteous are rewarded with good.

22 ³³A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but ³⁴the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.

23 The fallow ground of the poor would yield much food, but it is swept away through ³⁵injustice.

24 ³⁶Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.^e

25 ³⁷The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, but the belly of the wicked suffers want.
