21. There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with trouble.
22. Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
23. A prudent man conceals knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
24. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be put to forced labor.
25. Heaviness in the heart of man makes him stoop: but a good word makes him glad.
