Proverbs
Chapters 12:23-28
American Standard Version
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge; But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.
25Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop; But a good word maketh it glad.
26The righteous is a guide to his neighbor; But the way of the wicked causeth them to err.
27The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting; But the precious substance of men is to the diligent.
28In the way of righteousness is life; And in the pathway thereof there is no death.
