Proverbs 12:20-25 New King James Version (NKJV)

20. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,But counselors of peace have joy.

21. No grave trouble will overtake the righteous,But the wicked shall be filled with evil.

22. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,But those who deal truthfully are His delight.

23. A prudent man conceals knowledge,But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

24. The hand of the diligent will rule,But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.

25. Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,But a good word makes it glad.
