Proverbs

²⁰Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. ²¹There shall no mischief happen to the righteous: but the wicked shall be filled with evil. ²²Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. 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 neighbour: but the way of the wicked causeth them to err.
