Hope deferred maketh the heart sick;
But a wish fulfilled is a tree of life.[122]
Woe unto fearful hearts and to faint hands,
And to the sinner that goeth two ways!
Woe to the faint heart, for it believeth not;
Therefore shall it not be defended.
Woe unto you that have lost your patience!
What will ye do when the Lord shall visit you?[123]
There is no wisdom nor understanding,
Nor counsel against the Lord:
The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But the victory is of the Lord.[124]
Truth stands:
Falsehood does not stand.[125]
