The Desire Accomplished

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

• Life

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
