21 There shall no evil happen to the just:but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord:but they that deal truly are his delight.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge:but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule:but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop:but a good word maketh it glad.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor:but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting:but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
