11 Money wrongly gotwill disappear bit by bit;money earned little by littlewill grow and grow.
12 Not getting what you wantcan make you feel sick,but a wish that comes trueis a life-giving tree.
13 If you reject God's teaching,you will pay the price;if you obey his commands,you will be rewarded.
14 Sensible instructionis a life-giving fountainthat helps you escapeall deadly traps.
15 Sound judgment is praised,but people without good senseare on the way to disaster.
16 If you have good sense,you will act sensibly,but fools act like fools.
17 Whoever delivers your messagecan make things betteror worse for you.
