25 Heaviness in the heart of man makes him stoop: but a good word makes him glad.
26 The righteous chooses his friends carefully: but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27 The slothful man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the possessions of a diligent man are precious.
28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
