22The Lord hates people who tell lies, but he is pleased with those who tell the truth.
23Smart people don’t tell everything they know, but fools tell everything and show they are fools.
24Those who work hard will be put in charge of others, but lazy people will have to work like slaves.
25Worry takes away your joy, but a kind word makes you happy.
26Good people are careful about choosing their friends, but evil people always choose the wrong ones.
27Lazy people don’t get what they want, but riches come to those who work hard.
28Along the path of goodness there is life; that is the way to live forever.
