Proverbs
Chapters 12:24-28
New International Version Anglicized
24Diligent hands will rule,but laziness ends in forced labour.
25Anxiety weighs down the heart,but a kind word cheers it up.
26The righteous choose their friends carefully,but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27The lazy do not roast any game,but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
28In the way of righteousness there is life;along that path is immortality.
