Proverbs
Chapters 12:24-28
English Revised Version
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.
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.
