Proverbs 13:14 Context
12Hope deferred maketh the heart sicke: but when the desire commeth, it is a tree of life. 13Whoso despiseth the word, shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commaundement, shall be rewarded. 14The lawe of the wise is a fountaine of life, to depart from the snares of death. 15Good vnderstanding giueth fauour: but the way of transgressours is hard. 16Euery prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a foole layeth open his folly.
