19 Truth will last forever;lies are soon found out.
20 An evil mind is deceitful,but gentle thoughtsbring happiness.
21 Good people never have trouble,but troublemakershave more than enough.
22 The Lord hates every liar,but he is the friend of allwho can be trusted.
23 Be sensible and don't telleverything you know—only fools spreadfoolishness everywhere.
24 Work hard, and youwill be a leader;be lazy, and youwill end up a slave.
25 Worry is a heavy burden,but a kind wordalways brings cheer.
