Proverbs 13:12
Thomson 1808
Better is he who heartily beginneth to help, than he who promiseth and giveth expectation; for good desire is a tree of life.
Brenton 1851
Better is he that begins to help heartily, than he that promises and leads another to hope: for a good desire is a tree of life.
Greek · Brenton
Κρείσσων ἐναρχόμενος βοηθῶν καρδίᾳ, τοῦ ἐπαγγελλομένου καὶ εἰς ἐλπίδα ἄγοντος· δένδρον γὰρ ζωῆς, ἐπιθυμία ἀγαθή.
