25  ⁿAnxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down,

but a good word makes him glad.

12  Hope deferred makes the heart sick,

^hbut a desire fulfilled is ⁱa tree of life.

10  The heart knows its own ^rbitterness,

and no stranger shares its joy.

30  A tranquil¹ heart gives ^tlife to the flesh,

but ^uenvy² makes ^vthe bones rot.

30  ^cThe light of the eyes rejoices the heart,

and ^dgood news refreshes¹ the bones.

22  ^oA joyful heart is good medicine,

but a crushed spirit ^pdries up the bones.
