23 Prudent people don’t flaunt their knowledge;talkative fools broadcast their silliness.
24 The diligent find freedom in their work;the lazy are oppressed by work.
25 Worry weighs us down;a cheerful word picks us up.
26 A good person survives misfortune,but a wicked life invites disaster.
27 A lazy life is an empty life,but “early to rise” gets the job done.
28 Good men and women travel right into life;sin’s detours take you straight to hell.
