Proverbs 13:14

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. a To a crafty son there shall be nothing good: But a wise servant shall have prosperous doings, And his way shall be directed aright.

— Proverbs 13:14 —

¹⁵Sound discretion gives favor, And to know the law is the part of a sound understanding: But the ways of scorners tend to destruction.

¹⁶Every prudent man acts with knowledge: But the fool displays his own mischief.
