Proverbs
Chapters 12:22-27
New International Version
22The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.
23The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves, but a fool’s heart blurts out folly.
24Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.
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.
