Proverbs 13:12; Proverbs 13:19; Proverbs 15:30; Proverbs 17:22

12  Hope deferred makes the heart sick,

hbut a desire fulfilled is ia tree of life.


19  wA desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul,

but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.


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.
