19 Truthful lips endure forever,the lying tongue, for only a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,but those who counsel peace have joy.
21 No harm befalls the just,but the wicked are overwhelmed with misfortune.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,but those who are truthful, his delight.
23 The shrewd conceal knowledge,but the hearts of fools proclaim folly.
24 The diligent hand will govern,but sloth makes for forced labor.
25 Worry weighs down the heart,but a kind word gives it joy.
