22. The lord detests lying lips,but he delights in those who tell the truth.
23. The wise don’t make a show of their knowledge,but fools broadcast their foolishness.
24. Work hard and become a leader;be lazy and become a slave.
25. Worry weighs a person down;an encouraging word cheers a person up.
26. The godly give good advice to their friends;the wicked lead them astray.
27. Lazy people don’t even cook the game they catch,but the diligent make use of everything they find.
